Our Mentoring Program
At Kid Link Occupational Therapy we pride ourselves on offering an exceptional standard of evidence-based and family-centred therapy. We are passionate about educating graduate Occupational Therapists or those new to the paediatric space to do the same. Kid Link Occupational Therapy has a special interest in social emotional development and has comprehensive experience working with children with diagnoses including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, anxiety and motor skills challenges.
Our mentoring program is designed to develop OT’s reflective practice, clinical reasoning, and caseload management through sharing our knowledge, experience, and resources. Our mentor program aims to match mentors and mentees based on areas of clinical interest and expertise to ensure mentees get the most out of their experience. We offer a free 30 minute meet and greet session to ensure the mentoring partnership is a good fit. The mentor program is delivered via Zoom and is available to OT’s across Australia.
