Hi, I'm Sam Taylor,

Occupational Therapist

 

I’m an occupational therapist with experience in supporting children with a wide range of additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Intellectual Disabilities, Down Syndrome, and many more. I have been working and volunteering in the paedatric disability space for over 10 years.  My journey in this field is not just professional, but also personal. Having navigated the challenges similar to dyslexia and auditory processing difficulties myself, I understand the hurdles that families face within the education system, therapeutic environments and everyday life.

My approach to therapy is holistic and family-centered. I recognise that enhancing a child’s well-being goes beyond traditional milestones like handwriting. I believe in nurturing self-confidence and resilience—qualities that form the cornerstone of building a fulfilling life. Each child’s belief in themselves is a crucial building block upon which all progress is built.

I feel deeply privileged to join families on their unique journeys, offering support and guidance where I can every step of the way. As a passionate advocate for children and families, I strive to ensure that no child slips through the cracks or is told to "just try harder." Every child deserves a cheerleader and coach, and I am focused on being that person, working to foster environments where all children can be supported and thrive.

 

I look forward to supporting you and your family.
