About Everyday OT Ireland:

Everyday OT and its services are run by Kevin Prior, a highly trained Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist and Áine Curtin, a Paediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant. Kevin’s passion for OT stems from the OT support he received as a child with a physical disability and as a neurodivergent teen with a diagnosis of dyslexia. Áine’s passion for OT comes from her want to understand and support her daughter who is Autistic.

​Kevin and Áine are members of the Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland (AOTI) and the Paediatric Occupational Therapy Advisory Group. Kevin is also registered with the professional governing body CORU.

Sessions will be delivered online via zoom, the sessions will be recorded and available to view for 14 days.
