We Play OT | Play-Based Paediatric Occupational Therapist, Adelaide

Caring since 2011

A little about Diana

Since beginning my journey as an occupational therapist in 2011, I've had the privilege of working alongside neurodiverse children, teens, and adults.

My OT practice is grounded in a profound respect for the different ways individuals experience and interact with the world, particularly those with autism, ADHD, or learning differences. I strive to move beyond quick labels like "behavior difficulties" or "laziness" that don't fully capture a person's story.

Instead, I try to understand what my clients are trying to communicate through various behaviours. My goal is to create a safe space where my clients and their carers can be curious, play, connect, and even make mistakes.

If you feel that this approach might benefit you or someone you care about, I would be honoured to listen and learn with you.
