Paediatric Occupational Therapy · Singapore
Making sense of how children learn, move and cope.
Hello, I’m Mabel, a paediatric occupational therapist who works with children in schools and clinics. Here I share how a child’s development, school life, home life and therapy support fit together. I also speak up for every child to have equitable access to the support they need, across Singapore and Asia Pacific.
