Natasha graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from the University of Queensland in 2011.

Additional occupational therapy training/support areas:
Natasha is interested in childrens occupational therapy and is passionate about promoting learning and development through play and working with families, teachers, and other clinicians to support development across all areas (we all know it takes a village!). Natasha is interested in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with physical and multiple impairments, particularly those who need assistive technology and equipment prescription.
Natasha has extensive experience supporting neurodiverse clients, clients with sensory processing differences and motor delays/ challenges and intellectual disabilities (including non-verbal clients). Natasha loves supporting clients of all ages in achieving their goals and participating in activities they want and need to do (including self-care tasks such as toileting, mealtime management/ cooking and dressing, play/ leisure and learning activities).
Approach:
Natasha’s approach to therapy is holistic and highly adaptable and individual to each client. She understands that parents/ care givers know the child best and are the most integral part of the intervention process. She utilises an extensive range of evidence-based approaches to therapy to meet the needs of the client. Therapy services can be delivered in clinic or in the home, school or community environment.
