Overview

Clare Keogh is a multiply neurodivergent occupational therapist (neurotypes: Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum, Autistic, ADHD, and Dandy-Walker Syndrome). Clare uses her lived experience, combined with her professional knowledge, to guide clients and families in developing a holistic understanding of neurodivergence, disability, and what that means for individual and family occupations. After spending the first few years of her occupational therapy career working in the public (specialist) education system, Clare has been in private practice since late 2021. Clare's small business, Clare A Keogh OT, operates in Melbourne's west, with a special focus in supporting neurodivergent families and young people. Clare has strong interests in family-centred practice, health care as a helping profession, and the ways OT practice works with the person’s own lived experience to create change. Outside of work, Clare is also a dog mum to Sasha, and a nature explorer, music lover and creative thinker.
