I Can! Occupational Therapy Verified listing

My name is Joellen Bevilaqua and I have 18+ years experience as an OT, primarily working with children who are neurodivergent. That includes children and their families with the following diagnoses or pathologies; autism, ADHD, developmental coordination disorders, down syndrome intellectual disability and developmental delays.

I have lived experience as an ADHD'er growing up knowing my brain was different and worked in a different way.

It has taken 2 university degrees, overseas work and travel, finding a supportive partner and having children to come to an understanding of myself and the way my body and brain works.

I discover new things all the time and I have a passion for helping children and the people around them develop a understanding of how their body and mind works, so that they can do the things they want to do in every day life.

I look at the person and the environment and systems around them to help the child and the people in their lives support the child to live a meaningful life and do the things that they want to do.

I have a clinic in Dianella, and I can do home, school, day care and community visits. I am registered for Medicare EPC plan.

I can see NDIS Self managed and plan managed participants.

I have limited after school availability, but my during school hours I can see people within 1-2 weeks.
