Building understanding, confidence and meaningful participation for every child

A Different Kind of Support
My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and grounded in understanding each child as an individual.
Strengths-based, not deficit-focused
Support provided in real-life environments (home, school, community)
Collaborative with families and educators
Focused on meaningful participation, wellbeing, and confidence
I don’t aim to change who your child is—

Hi, I’m Amy, a paediatric occupational therapist passionate about supporting neurodivergent children to feel understood, capable, and confident in their everyday lives.
I hold a PhD focused on the social inclusion of autistic students in mainstream schools, and I’m deeply committed to helping children not just participate, but truly belong in their school environments.
