Practical, strengths-based support for people with Neurodivergence
At LifeWorks OT, we work with children, teens and adults who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Tourette’s syndrome.Our role is to support clients in navigating daily life in a way that feels manageable, sustainable and meaningful. We don't try to "fix" or mask their neurodivergence. We focus on function, self-understanding, and creating environments and routines that actually work for the individual.Practical, strengths-based support for people with Neurodivergence
What We Support
What We Support
Neurodivergence can affect:
Executive functioning (e.g. organisation, time management, task initiation)
Emotional regulation and stress tolerance
Social connection and communication
Sensory processing and sensory overwhelm
Energy levels, fatigue, and burnout
Participation in meaningful activities like study, work, parenting, or hobbies
These areas can shift depending on a person’s age, stage of life, and life context — which is why we take a flexible, client-led approach to every plan.
