Our Team

Melissa Ryan

MOccThyS, BSc 


I am really passionate about supporting people to be live happy and successful lives. I have been an Occupational Therapist for almost twenty years, having worked for Education Queensland, New South Wales Health, The Rainbow School in London, as a Contractor in Turkey, and in Non-For-Profit and Private Practices in Queensland. 


I work with clients from the age of six months right through to adulthood. I am particularly passionate about working with children who are on the Autism Spectrum, have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety or those who are having Learning Difficulties.


I am trained in  

Sensory Integration, Trauma, Social Thinking, Executive Function, Therapeutic Listening, Astronaut Program, ADOS assessment, Home Modifications, Sleep, Play, and Fine and Gross Motor skills.
 

When I’m not at work, I love heading to the beach or the park with my two little boys. My boys are obsessed with sports, transformers, monster trucks and risky play!


 I love to play, and believe I have the most wonderful job in the world! Who else gets to play with swings, bubbles, and games all day long?


As a child, I loved to ‘invent new things’, conduct ‘experiments’ with my tea set, and write poetry – likely influenced by my parents who taught Senior Marine Biology and Primary School aged children. 

 

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and meet, the Turrbal people, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
