Radhika Kumar Occupational Therapist (Student)

Supporting Learning for Children with Needs 35 Hermitage Parade, Derrimut, Victoria, 3026

Overview

Hello, I’m Radhika and I am currently in my second year of studying for a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) at Australian Catholic University. I am very excited to join and work alongside all members of the team at SLCN! I am very excited about supporting children and their families in achieving greater independence, confidence, and participation in everyday activities within a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where they feel happy, relaxed, and ready to learn! As a therapy assistant, I am excited to make a positive impact on children’s lives by building supportive therapeutic relationships that encourage learning, growth, and meaningful experiences. I also look forward to developing strong and encouraging relationships with families to provide ongoing support and help create a safe and empowering environment for both them and their child. I am really looking forward to working with everyone at SLCN and supporting all of our young clients in reaching their full potential for the future!
