My name is Sharon and I am an Occupational Therapist (OT) with a specialist interest and lived experience of Autism Spectrum Condition. I am part of the diagnostic team at Every Mind.
My interest in Autism began when my son was diagnosed age 9. I own an OT practice who specialises in Neurovidiveristy. The majority of our team have lived experience of autism.
Our role is centred around ensuring, those we work with, are as independent, confident and as happy as they possibly can be - this involves understanding motor and sensory differences. I spend the majority of my time with the young person either in their school or at their home and firmly believe that autism should not be a barrier to young people thriving in both their everyday lives and their learning.
I achieved a Masters Degree in OT in 2012 and worked in a specialist school for children and youg people who are autistic, I have worked in private practice throughout.
OT supoort includes Mental Health OT, 1:1 intervention support, assessments for EHCP and tribunal reports and Expert Witness at tribunal. We also offer post OT assessment parent/carer sessions to ensure OT reports are understood by those supporting their child.
We have launched a new programme of workshops for parents of autistic children. Workshops include Supporting Self Esteem, Managing Anxiety, and the Transition to Adolescence. Please contact us for more information
