With a special interest in sensory regulation and integrative processing, she has extensive experience working with children whose sensory needs impact their daily functioning within the home, school, and community. Through her interventions, she assists these children in better integrating into different environments, enhancing their overall quality of life.

She values collaboration, actively engaging with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other allied health professionals to foster holistic support for her clients.

Sandy believes in the principle that “children do well if they can.” She emphasises examining environmental factors, task demands, and individual differences when addressing developmental challenges. Through her compassionate approach and integrative techniques, Sandy is committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.
