A little about me...

Jodie Lang

I completed my Bachelor of Occupational Therapy in 2005 at La Trobe University. I have been working as a paediatric occupational therapist for the past 12 years. I have always been passionate about working with children and families and have worked in a range of settings including; Early Intervention, Community Health and privately in independent schools. I established Hopscotch OT in 2014.

I have extensive experience working with children with; developmental coordination disorder or dyspraxia, developmental delays, specific learning disorders, attention deficit disorders, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing difficulties and social and emotional difficulties. I am committed to using an evidence based approach and in recent years have completed training to become a certified CO-OP therapist, Tuning Into Kids group facilitator and have completed various other courses in; Social Thinking, sensory processing, handwriting intervention, toilet training and family centered practice. I love helping children to develop skills and am passionate about working with their parents and educators to understand their needs and how to support their skill development so that the child can reach their full potential. On a personal level I am a mum to 2 young kids and love getting out and about and being active with my family.
