LARA CLARK: Occupational Therapist
Days available: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday
Lara graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy) from The University of Sydney in 2007. Since this time she has worked predominantly in private practice, also spending time in the United Kingdom (UK) working in a community setting.
Lara started in private practice at The Sensory Gym (Hobartville) and following her return from the UK, worked at Sensational Kids OT (Kirrawee). While in the UK, she worked in a community-based health care setting known as the Mary Sheridan Centre.
From a young age, Lara spent many hours with a family member on the Autism Spectrum as well as a very close friend with a cognitive impairment sparking her passion for working with children with special needs.
Lara has previously been involved in Camp Jabiru, operated by The Sensory Gym and runs Camp Connect, along with Sensational Kids OT. On varying levels, both of these offer a typical camp experience using various therapeutic approaches to support each child to participate as an individual camper as well as a positive group member.
