Caitlin Lamont (Occupational Therapist) 

Bachelor Applied Science (OT) - Australian Catholic University
 
Caitlin is a friendly and highly motivated paediatric Occupational Therapist who is passionate about helping kids achieve their full potential. She values taking the time to understand her clients’ individual strengths, qualities and interests to build strong relationships that help motivate and maximise learning and engagement in therapy. She strives to make her sessions fun through creative play and has a background in a range of therapy frameworks across sensory integration, neurobiology and social emotional areas including DIR Floortime, polyvagal theory and Synergetic Play Therapy.
 
Through developing strong relationships with her clients, Caitlin strives to understand children’s individual foundational skill deficits that prevent them from achieving their potential. She works closely with clients to reach functional, personal and family goals that can be generalised across all contexts and environments and values close collaboration with families, educators, teachers, service providers and other health professionals to develop a consistent, comprehensive and considered approach.  
 
Caitlin is experienced in working with neurodiverse children of all ages with a range of difficulties and diagnosis including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) levels 1-3, Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Down syndrome, Intellectual disability (ID), clients who have a trauma history, and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. 
 
Caitlin is committed to regularly expanding her professional knowledge and has recent certifications in the Safe and Sound Protocol and Kim Barthel’s Seeing and Moving: A Visual and Vestibular Course.
 
In her spare time, Caitlin loves spending time at the beach and being creative with hobbies like painting, restoring old furniture and finding the perfect places for her many indoor plants.
