Dom is an Occupational Therapist with over 15 years’ experience supporting children and their families. She works with children from early childhood through the school years, using a child-led, neurodiversity-affirming approach that supports children to feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves.

Dom has extensive experience working with neurodivergent children, including Autistic children, ADHDers, AuDHDers, PDAers, and children with intellectual disabilities, learning differences, and sensory processing differences. Her work is grounded in sensory processing, regulation, play, and building on each child’s strengths, with a focus on responsive and respectful supports rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.

She has advanced training in sensory integration and supports children to better understand their own sensory differences, exploring practical strategies and accommodations that can be used across home, school, and community settings. Dom is also trained in the Get Permission approach to feeding, supporting children and families to reduce pressure around eating and build trust, safety, and curiosity around food.

Dom is a certified Developmental Play Practitioner with CreateCATT and strongly believes that play remains meaningful across all stages of development. She enjoys creating relaxed, flexible sessions shaped around each child’s interests, using play intentionally to support regulation, participation, and self-awareness.

Dom values collaboration with parents, carers, and educators and enjoys supporting children to understand themselves, communicate their needs, and develop self-advocacy skills. She provides services across the Northcote and Coburg clinics, as well as in home and school settings, and is fluent in English and Tagalog.
