Steve’s area of interest is pediatrics; he enjoys working with the younger population, building productive relationships with children and their families to make a positive difference in their lives.

Steve’s therapeutic interventions focus on the person’s goals, rather than the expectations of what their disability will allow them to do. Steve implements an evidence-based practice to gain a holistic understanding of his client’s functional abilities.

Steve uses a play-based approach to enhance children’s social skills, cognitive skills, fine and gross motor skills, alongside their ability to self-regulate their emotions and behaviours. Steve firmly believes that when clients enjoy coming to their Occupational Therapy sessions, this increases their participation in therapeutic activities, increasing their overall therapy outcomes.
