Courtenay (Courts) Karoubas, ActivOT Burnside, completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy) at The University of Sydney at the end of 2006. Courts has a special interest in working with children, teenagers and adults who have a diagnosis of autism, intellectual disability, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). She is also keenly interested in the impact of primitive reflexes and often undiagnosed sensory processing related difficulties affecting mental health and general difficulties in daily life. During your OT sessions with Courts, you can expect that she will work closely with you to identify difficulties and goals that are most important to you.
