Description

Occupational Therapists (OTs) can seem like magical “catch-all” wizards for our neurodivergent children. So in this episode we break down what an OT is, what they do and how they do it.




We delve into the many ways an OT can support your neurodivergent child’s growing brain and why are they are fast becoming the essential spoke to your child’s support wheel.




We’ll also answer some of our audience questions about OTs so we can demystify the incredible work that they do.




Speaking with Stephanie Van Velzen, an OT for over `15 years and Practice Director of Uplift Therapy Ballarat, she’ll aim to help us understand how an OT can support your neurodivergent child.
