Kylie Walsh Occupational Therapist Brisbane

Kylie Walsh provides services which aim to support children who experience difficulties with learning, to successfully participate in the occupations, that is activities they need to do, want to do and are expected to do. 

Kylie has an interest in supporting children to develop skills and confidence in their occupational roles as an active participant in daily routines and activities through being a persistent learner and worker. Collaboration with families is critical to this process. 

She is passionate about understanding and educating how to best support a child to participate in everyday routines and tasks in an optimal manner to match the demands of the task or environment. This may involve understanding motor capabilities, interoceptive awareness, exploring individualised prompts to enhance information processing and consideration of social competence. 

Occupational therapy can support parents by building on their expert knowledge alongside providing learning opportunities for their child through modifying a task, adapting the environment and skill development. It aims to promote looking after oneself, optimal learning as a student, forming positive relationships with others and enabling community participation. 

Sorry, I currently only have limited availability for private referrals
