Ciara Mullally
Queenstown,OTA
Summary
I am a creative and enthusiastic registered social worker with extensive experience assisting families in navigating the diagnostic process and connecting them with professionals to address their specific needs. I am comfortable collaborating with paediatricians, educational psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and other allied health professionals. I am proficient in organizing and facilitating monthly support groups for parents of neurodivergent children.
Following assessments, I have experience preparing and summarizing symptoms discussed with parents and providing advice and guidance to support and accommodate their children's conditions to aid discussions with pediatricians. I am recognized for my patient demeanor and compassionate interpersonal skills.
In my previous role, I worked across various sectors, including perinatal mental health, mild to moderate mental health, family harm, and social work within schools.
