Empowering Independence. Building Skills. Enabling Potential.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Consultant Occupational Therapist with specialized expertise in Sensory Integration, Neurological Rehabilitation, Cognitive Therapy, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Fine & Gross Motor Development, Visual Motor Skills, Assistive Technology, and Social-Emotional Regulation.

With a strong belief that every individual has the potential to learn, grow, and become more independent, my approach to Occupational Therapy is individualized, functional, and child-centered. I focus on understanding why a child is experiencing difficulty and then designing meaningful, evidence-informed interventions that help the child participate more successfully in everyday life.

Assessment &
Individualized Intervention

Every child is
different. Therefore, therapy begins with understanding the child’s strengths,
challenges, developmental profile, sensory needs, functional abilities, and
everyday participation.

Depending on the
child’s needs, assessment may include:

·       Developmental screening

·       Fine and gross motor assessment

·       Sensory processing assessment

·       Visual-motor and visual-perceptual assessment

·       Functional and ADL assessment

·       Handwriting assessment

·       Cognitive and executive functioning assessment

·       School participation assessment

·       Social and adaptive behaviour assessment

Based on the assessment findings, an individualized Occupational
Therapy plan is developed with measurable and functional goals.

 

My experience includes working with children across different age groups with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, sensory processing challenges, neurological conditions, learning difficulties, and emotional and behavioural concerns.

Occupational Therapy, for me, is not simply about improving a particular skill—it is about helping a child become more independent, confident, regulated, engaged, and successful in
everyday activities at home, in school, and in the community.
