As an Occupational Therapist, Candia supports children and young people to achieve their daily and life goals. She works with children to understand their self-care, leisure and education/work/play strengths and needs, aiming to increase their self-esteem, self-efficacy and simply their enjoyment of the world. She does this work with a deep understanding of the effects of trauma, sensory, survival and attachment patterns on the everyday life of children and young people.
Candia has training in retained primitive reflexes – assessing, understanding their impact and creating programmes of daily intervention to support their integration. She has training in the BUSS model which supports building underdeveloped sensorimotor systems. Candia’s other area of experience is working with neurodivergent children and young adults.
