Background & Experience
Kris is a Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist with 19 years of experience

Functioning coach with a strong commitment to helping children with
developmental needs reach their full potential.
Throughout his career, Kris has worked with children presenting with a wide
range of diagnoses and developmental challenges, including Autism

Approach
Kris believes that every child is brilliant and beautiful in their own unique way.
With compassion, care, understanding and opportunities to grow, every child
can be supported to become the best version of themselves.
Kris’s sessions focus on skill development, sensory processing, executive
functioning and school-readiness facilitation across early childhood, the
preschool years, school age, and adolescence. Taking a child-centric approach he works closely with families, empowering them with the
knowledge, understanding and strategies they need to support their child’s
development. Kris has developed a strengths-based perspective that looks
beyond a child’s challenges to recognise their unique abilities, interests, and
potential. He is passionate about empowering children to develop meaningful
skills that enhance their independence, participation, and quality of
life – regardless of their age, circumstances, abilities, or individual interests.
Personal
Outside of work, Kris enjoys going to the gym and maintaining an active,
physically fit lifestyle.
