About Lauren
A Little More About Lauren
I am a neurodivergent Occupational Therapist committed to providing holistic, gender- and neuro-affirming support for children and adolescents.
I find purpose in guiding families through evidence-based approaches, empowering parents, advocating for their children, and fostering team collaboration. I live, learn, and work on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja and I am deeply invested in supporting neurodivergent children and teens as they develop an authentic and positive neurodivergent identity.
My areas of experience and clinical interest include differences in sensory processing and executive functioning, emotional regulation, transition to adolescence, self-care routines, and mealtimes therapy.
