Evonne Ryken has been an occupational therapist for 47 years and has her Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy and a Master of Education in Early Childhood Education. She is a registered and licensed occupational therapist, serves on the ASAPC evaluation team, and is a mentor to three certified occupational therapy assistants. Evonne loves helping families access services for their children

When Evonne is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband of 45 years. They have two sons and two grandchildren. She enjoys crocheting and especially enjoys making toy animals. She and her husband love gardening with perennial flowers and have a “Secret Garden” that has been featured in their city’s Historical Society. Their “Secret Garden” is a curving switchback trail that transports you to a secluded getaway that explodes with color and leafy vegetation. The garden’s beds showcase blooming rhodies and lush hostas, statuesque irises, and climbing vines on custom-built arbors. Whether attracting bumble bees or bunnies, plants in the garden bloom year-round, creating a serene oasis that has been likened to heaven on earth!
