Occupational Therapy Consultants
As experienced Occupational Therapy Consultants in Australia, Sarah MacInnes and Michelle Maunder are committed to making a meaningful impact, together with organisations, and our communities.
They do this through empowering leaders and teams with strategy, knowledge and practical skills to support neurodivergent children and their families.
Early Learning Centres, Pre Schools and Schools
Sarah and Michelle empower educators with the resources and knowledge to facilitate inclusion and participation of neurodivergent children within the educational setting.
This can include
OT Assessment
Provide holistic and neuroaffirming assessments that aim to get to the root of the problem and support the child’s team in understanding how neurodevelopmental differences are impacting on their development and participation.
therapeutic supports
Sarah and Michelle meet the child exactly where they are. They use the child’s individual strengths to build an individualised therapeutic support plan that considers a comprehensive set of components.
environmental recommendations
Sarah and Michelle recognise all aspects of the environment, not just the physical space as facilitating or holding back participation of children. They regularly provide suggestions for the playground and classroom that provide opportunities for participation.
customised learning and development
Sarah and Michelle provide customised learning and development opportunities for educators from 1:1 coaching to whole school workshops on specific topics such as sensory integration, self regulation and co regulation, the development of play, understanding trauma or specific case problem solving.
We Consult with Educational Organisations
