Sounding board for your tricky cases
Do you feel isolated working as a paediatric OT and wish you had a professional sounding board? Or maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by the massive workload?
I’ve been there, done that. I understand.
Hi, I’m Deb Hopper, practicing paediatric OT of 25+ years.
Working as a paediatric OT can be a lonely journey. Helping clients takes up most of your time and you’re struggling to clock up your hours for Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
Wouldn’t it be great if you could join a supportive paediatric OT community where you can ask questions and learn new skills to help you build your OT practice? The Kids OT POD Group Supervision does exactly that.
Become the Best OT You Can Be
Building confidence is an ongoing challenge for most paediatric occupational therapists. I will help you reduce the debilitating imposter syndrome so you can grow into OT 2.0, the best version of yourself.
Regular self-care challenges have been designed to ensure you look after yourself so you can support your clients. It also means you’ll be more available for your family as you achieve a healthier work-life balance. Trust me, it really is possible!
Make the monumental shift from surviving to thriving so you can continue enjoying your work as a paediatric OT and help as many clients as possible. Burnout is a genuine threat which can be avoided with the right guidance and professional support.
What’s Included in The Kids OT POD?
There are 3 Pillars to the Kids OT Pod
1. Education: Get help on what you need, when you need it! We offer a library of resources for you to dip into as needed, covering the most commonly encountered clinical issues your clients face: sensory regulation, anxiety, toileting, and more. Additionally, each month we cover a different theme as part of our live calls. Whether it’s goal setting, fussy eating, or something else requested by you, there’s always going to be a helpful tidbit or two in these calls. We also bring in expert guest speakers, so you’re learning from the best.
2. Self Care: One week each month is dedicated to self-care, serving as your monthly reminder to check in with yourself and make sure you are serving you too. You’ll also get access to great resources like the Paed OT Survival Guide & the 30 Day Self-Care Challenge.
3. Support: The best part of the Kids OT Pod is the community: we have an incredibly supportive, accepting Facebook group where you can connect with fellow paed OT’s across Australia. You’ll also have a sounding board twice a month to run your tricky situations past an experienced OT who has been there, done that. These Q&A sessions are also great times to connect with each other – we have members that have been with us for years!

I’m so glad I found this! As a new graduate, I’ve been looking for support the past few months as my service can’t recruit a senior OT.
