Neuroaffirming Occupational Therapy

Information:

• Natalie aims to provide neurodiversity-affirming practice, but is still learning from her clients!

• She works in a highly person-centred way, and is flexible in how she interacts with clients, meeting them at locations that suit them when possible, and allowing for varying ways of delivering sessions (timing, length, pace, breaks, animals, outdoors, sensory tools, varying locations).

• Communication is supported by asking clients about what works best for them - for example, sometimes people prefer to write responses, or prefer telehealth, or may need more information before sessions such as photos or questions ahead of time, or may need additional processing time and visual supports.

• Reports are written in a non-stigmatising way, using identity-first language.

• Clinic space has options for being flexible in the need for additional space, sensory supports, or the outdoors (weather and privacy allowing).
