Laura was born and raised in Southern California and has been in London since 2021. She is the daughter of an Occupational Therapist (OT) and now runs a private practice – Kid Kind Collective and works with children as a Paediatric OT.

We spoke about:

• What an OT actually does (Becks had no idea!) and why they do what they do in terms of outcomes for the children.
• How OTs help people be adaptive with how they get to the end goal.
• All about sensory processing – what this means and how an OT can help as a ‘sensory detective’ and getting the whole family involved with this.
• How an OT can help when children just can’t sit still (more detective work!)
• How you can get your child referred to an OT and what happens at their first appointment (often work can start before an ADHD or Autism diagnosis for example).
• The link with emotional regulation and how the work that an OT does to support children can impact on this.
• Laura’s top 3 things that she loves about being an OT.
• What Laura’s childhood was like as the daughter of an OT and what she learnt.
