Kindred Occupational Therapy - Individual
Mainly working with Children aged between 1-12, Kindred's Occupational Therapy is rooted in neurodiversity-affirming practice, celebrating each person's unique way of being without seeking to change them to fit neurotypical expectations.

As of July 2026, waitlist times are around 6 months.
