Tamara Kittelson
Tamara's focus shifted to specializing in assistive technology, especially positioning and mobility equipment for children, youth and adults with complex needs. She has done this work in a variety of settings, primarily community based, including her own private practice. Over time her interest in and passion for 24 hour posture care and management developed and grew.
Tamara is a RESNA certified Assistive Technology Professional/Seating and Mobility Specialist, and completed Advanced Postural Care certificates through the Open College Network, West Midlands (UK). She directs two nonprofits based in Missoula, Eleanore’s Project and Posture 24/7 – focusing internationally and domestically on her special interests. Tamara is thrilled to join the team at Moving Mountains Therapy, where her philosophies about teamwork and family centered care are shared. In her spare time she loves to grow, preserve and cook with food from her garden and is an avid yoga practitioner.
