About Me

Welcome to OT with Emily

I'm Emily, a Paediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) from Australia. I'm also an older sister to a wonderful brother diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Throughout my years practicing and being a caregiver I've picked up some tips & tricks along the way that I want to share with therapists, educators and caregivers alike.

I love to share knowledge and spread more awareness about children's occupational therapy. On my website you can find blog posts about OT topics, free printables and resources. Check out my instagram for short therapy idea videos. I hope by providing practical strategies in fun and refreshing ways I can educate and inspire you :)

I believe in sharing my knowledge and resources, because by doing so we will all reach our ultimate goals of supporting all our kiddos to grow, thrive and fulfil their 'occupations' to Play, Learn and have Fun!

A little bit about me when I'm not working I love to visit the beach, travel, being outdoors hiking, yoga, having picnics with good company and enjoying lots of dessert!
