ASHLEIGH THACKER - OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST - KARIONG

Ashleigh graduated from Australian Catholic University in 2024 with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. She has gained valuable experience working with children who have ASD, ADHD, and Global Development Delay, all while recognizing the significance of neurodiversity, neuroinclusivity, and neuro-affirming practices in occupational therapy.

Her passion lies in engaging with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, to support them in realizing their fullest potential and empowering them to flourish in every environment—be it at school, home, or within the community. Ashleigh is passionate about developing handwriting, enhancing emotional regulation, and building social skills with her clients.

Ashleigh believes in the importance of collaborating closely with families to craft fun and meaningful experiences for the children she works with. Nothing brings her more joy than witnessing the smiles on children’s faces as they have fun and thrive, and she is thrilled to be an integral part of their journey.

In her spare time, Ashleigh loves playing basketball, diving into numerous books, and enjoying sunny days at the beach.
