Zoe Manning

An Occupational Therapist who believes in using a collaborative, goal-based approach with NDIS participants, Zoe works closely with clients, their families and a multidisciplinary team to enable participants to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Zoe started her career with Ability Action Australia as a Therapy Assistant, after undertaking her third year university placement with the Newcastle team. From there, she moved to Tamworth to continue providing vital support to participants as a Therapy Assistant.

Through her work as a Therapy Assistant, Zoe has worked with participants in clinics, community settings, such as schools, and home environments. She has experience with children with autism, ADHD, sensorimotor difficulties and developmental delays.

Passionate about working with paediatric clients and their families, Zoe likes to make therapy sessions fun by using a play-based approach to assist paediatric clients in achieving their goals and increasing their independence in everyday activities.

She can also support clients to improve their ability to increase their independence by helping them to:

• Select appropriate intervention strategies
• Access the local community and support services
• Explore equipment or assistive technology options

“I love supporting people living with a disability to achieve goals that are meaningful to them,” she says.

Zoe is supporting NDIS participants in the Tamworth area.
