I am Anna McCoubrey and I qualified with a BSc in Occupational Therapy in 1993. I have over 20 years of paediatric experience, working with children with a wide variety of difficulties, including:

​

- Sensory and Motor difficulties

- Attention Deficit Disorders

- Autistic Spectrum Disorders

- Developmental Delay

- Cerebral palsy and acquired brain injury

​

What I do

In my role as a therapist I work closely with the child, their caregivers and other involved professionals to understand each child's unique strengths and challenges. As I develop a clearer picture of who they are and their ability to engage in their home, school and social environment, we can focus on therapy that will maximise their strengths and help them to overcome their challenges in daily life.

​
