Lucy Kelsch

Occupational Therapist

Lucy graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Science (Occupational Therapy) (Honours). She has clinical experience supporting families in community-based disabilities services with a particular interest in autism early intervention. She is experienced in supporting clients both in individual and group settings. 

Lucy brings a passion for working with autistic children and prides herself on her ability to build strong rapport with both the children and their families. She values the importance of following the child's lead, making sessions fun and exciting, and supporting all children to become independent across all their daily activities within the home, school and community. Lucy has a keen interest in understanding sensory preferences and how this has an impact on engagement in everyday activities.  

Lucy is passionate about working collaboratively and supporting the knowledge of those around the child (such as parents, extended family members, teachers and other community members) to understand autism and support autistic individuals to live a fulfilling life.
