Hi, I’m Ethan.
I am a HCPC registered Highly Specialist Occupational Therapist with a BSc (Hons) in Occupational Therapy from Robert Gordon University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Sensory Integration from Sheffield Hallam University. I have 8 years experience supporting children and young people within specialist educational settings, including Autism, learning disabilities, developmental delay, sensory processing differences, communication needs. I work with client groups including paediatrics and adults.
I have experience in occupational therapy assessment, intervention planning and delivery, and multidisciplinary working. I have managed substantial caseloads and delivered individualised interventions and therapy plans, while supporting the development of needs-led and tiered models of universal, targeted and specialist provision. I have extensive experience supporting with recommendations for EHCPs.
My experience also includes occupational therapy service development, provision audits, outcome measurement, pathway development and delivering whole-school training. I am trained in the CO-OP approach and have completed additional training in order to utilise the EASI. I am commitment to continuing professional development and evidence-informed practice. I am also a Schools Community of Practice Lead with ASI-Wise.
My Approach
I adopt a collaborative, strengths-based and child-centred approach, focusing on supporting participation, independence and meaningful engagement in everyday activities, learning and social environments.
Simple ideas
Through every stage, I’ve focused on staying true to my values and ensuring the occupational therapy process is as smooth as possible.
Lasting impact
Interventions utilised by myself have a lasting impact on the children and young people I work with, enabling them to lead as independent a life as possible.
