Experience
Gordon Heath is a highly experienced Occupational Therapist with over 21 years of expertise, primarily focused on supporting children. He graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2003 and later pursued a Post-Graduate Diploma in Accessibility and Inclusive Design. Throughout his career, he has specialised in working with children with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism and ADHD. His deep understanding of sensory systems and the influence of the environment on behaviour has enabled him to guide parents in better understanding their children's behaviours, providing them with practical strategies for managing these differences effectively. He has also collaborated with educators, offering valuable support to ensure children who struggle in traditional
classroom settings receive the assistance they need.
Committed to placing his clients’ needs and experiences at the forefront, Gordon always works in the best interests of the children and families he serves. In addition to his extensive work with neurodevelopmental challenges, he has also worked within children's disability services, assessing physical needs, recommending equipment and seating, and designing home adaptations to improve accessibility and comfort.
He is known for his flexibility, friendly demeanor, and approachable nature, consistently striving to provide the highest quality of service to every client.
