Charlie Neighbour

Charlie is a Senior OT who has worked in the community disability space since 2022. She has supported individuals of all ages, from 10 months to 80 years old.

Charlie has a particular interest in neuroaffirming practice, trauma informed care, early intervention and working with those with Cerebral Palsy. She has worked within schools, kindergartens and childcares to upskill education staff to best support children with disability to access education.

As part of her work, Charlie has completed functional capacity assessments, minor home modification assessments, and prescribed low, mid and high-cost assistive technology. She utlises a range of assessments to support clinical outcomes including the Sensory Profile, the Vinelands assessment, the DASH handwriting assessment, the Beery VMI, the BOT2, the HELP assessment, the Assisting Hand Assessment and the Movement ABC.

Charlie has also been involved in facilitating surveillance clinics for clients with neuromuscular conditions. This involves a wide range of assessments to provide a holistic view of changes in a client’s function and early recommendations to support best outcomes.

Charlie loves “the relationships I get to build and to have the privilege of being shown others perspectives on life.”

Initially living and working in rural South Australia, Charlie has relocated to Maroochydore where she now supports participants of all ages throughout the Sunshine Coast.
