A personal note from Donna:

"I started this private practice in the United States, and brought it to Australia to provide a dedicated, focused, and more personal therapy for children".

"If you want the best treatment for your child, you will find it right here. I know that no child is like any other, AND each child is unique in so many ways".

"After I assess the child, I develop a customised treatment plan to address their individual needs"

"I encourage parents to become involved with the therapy. I tend to discourage the use of mobile phones and tablets, in order to develop the child's imagination and social interactions."

" I want to hear from you! Please feel free to Email me with your questions."

Donna has brought with her a vast range of experience. Her journey started with an abrupt career change when her own son was diagnosed with autism. Donna dedicated herself to helping her son. Now, she is helping others like him. She graduated from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, in 1998 studying occupational therapy. She started her professional career as a therapist in the special needs school system of New Jersey. Concurrently, Donna has worked as a private contractor for various organisations, and for herself, to the present. Most recently, Donna has worked for Children’s Specialized Hospital as a senior therapist, clinical supervisor, and to date, the departmental supervisor of occupational therapy. Donna is renowned for her work in autism, Floortime, and sensory integration. She has earned the respect of parents and colleagues, everywhere she works. Her efforts are recognised on a national level. She was awarded the Best in Patient Care in the United States for 2018, by the American Health Council. She mentors her employees to the best of her ability. Her style of therapy is imparted upon her employees, so that her level of quality care does not vary across therapists.
