Member of Australian Association of Occupational Therapists – NSW  

Val graduated as an occupational therapist (OT) in Sydney in 1989.   

She developed a sound grounding in her chosen field, working in a variety of settings around Australia and overseas. This saw her working with young clients of the Guide Dogs Association, running group homes for teenagers, providing therapy in acute medical wards, and working with the elderly.   

A strong interest in paediatrics led her to a position in school therapy in 1992, a job she enjoyed so much that she has chosen to specialise in this field.  

In a quest to expand her knowledge, Val studied paediatrics and human development at Sydney University, and graduated with an OT Masters degree.  

She has combined working as a senior (Grade 3) OT supervisor, in the Inner West of Sydney, with her private practice. Val is called on regularly as a consultant in her field, and presents widely at universities and professional conferences.  

The Australian Association of Occupational Therapists awarded her Expert in Occupational Therapy status in 1997.   

She is currently enjoying the rewarding role of studying child development first hand after the arrival of baby Emile in July 2001!
