Taleshia Moss

Taleshia Moss has been practicing occupational therapy for seven and a half years and has served as an education consultant for approximately one year. She began her career in home healthcare working with the geriatric population before pivoting to school settings two and a half years later, where she developed a passion for understanding how children's brains work and the importance of regulation prior to learning. With a background in trauma-informed care and sensory processing, Moss now focuses her consulting efforts on reaching more students, educators, and families to improve outcomes, particularly for those from challenging backgrounds. She credits mentors including Doreen Head, Director of Occupational Therapy at Wayne State University, and Dr. Regina Parnell for inspiring her to pursue her goals without limits. In addition to her professional work, Moss serves as director of children's ministry at her church and engages with underserved neighborhoods to provide resources and education on brain function and support services. She attributes her success to grit, ambition balanced with self-care, a commitment to excellence, lifelong learning, and her Christian faith.
