There, he led the delivery of OT services across the school, developed whole-school sensory and motor programs, and supported students through both direct intervention and staff training. 

"I am a highly active person with a strong background in sport and movement, and I consider physical activity to be a fundamental part of therapeutic intervention. I believe that engaging the body through movement not only supports motor development but also enhances emotional regulation, attention, and overall wellbeing—especially in children. My therapeutic approach often integrates play-based and movement-rich activities to create motivating, functional experiences for young clients." During his time in London, Scott worked full-time as the occupational therapist at Kisharon Noé School, a Jewish SEN school for children with complex learning needs. "While I am not Jewish myself, working closely within this culturally rich environment has given me valuable insight into Jewish traditions, practices, and community life, and has further strengthened my ability to deliver, culturally responsive care."

​

Scott's clinical interests include working with people with Physical Disabilities, ASD, ADHD, General life skills, Play-based therapy, Big Brother/Mental Health. 

 

Fun Fact - Scott visited 22 countries within one year, he has many stories to tell.
