Real-world support for real-life practice

There’s nothing like being an OT in paediatrics. It’s a rewarding career that can change a child’s life.

But it’s not like the textbooks.

In paediatrics, there’s a world of difference between academic learning and on-the-ground OT practice.

Clinical competence is just the starting point. You’ve also got to:

  • Overcome imposter syndrome
  • Build a strong rapport with your two clients – the child and their family.
  • Balance your work with other aspects of your life.
