My name is Laurie Turuelo, I have been a qualified occupational therapist for almost two years now. I spent my first 18 months in a forensic mental health service working in low and medium secure units with both men and women. I currently work at Beechwood College; a college for people with Autism and learning disabilities. The college has education, residential and clinical services who use an MDT approach to support the students to learn a range of skills from communication to community access. As an occupational therapist in the college, my role is to provide therapeutic interventions to promote independence and skill building based on assessments of an individual’s function, skill and sensory profile. The college wide input includes fortnightly dog therapy sessions and a focus on after college groups to support student’s to develop positive relationships, work on team building and promote an active lifestyle. A person-centred approach is used to develop 1:1 sessions, which may include; sensory circuits, community integration, sensory based routine schedules, a graded approach to skill building and development of self-soothing skills.
