Romy-Lee Marsh

Occupational Therapist

My name Romy-Lee. I am the Clinical lead at Kidsfirst Clinic. Together with a team of committed therapists, we will embark on providing child focused evidence-based therapy. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the clinic aims to provide holistic therapy supporting children and families.

I have 27 years of clinical and training experience as a paediatric occupational therapist with extensive experience in working with children with sensory processing difficulties, ASD and a broad range of learning and physical difficulties. I qualified in 1996 with a BSC in Occupational Therapy. After obtaining my degree, I successfully completed the American Occupational Therapy Certification Board Exam and spent 2 years working in the USA extending my experience and knowledge in paediatrics. During this time, I privileged to be awarded honorary citizenship by Clayton Ezell, the then mayor of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, USA.

During 2011, I was trained in Therapeutic Listening, Astronaut training (a sound-activated vestibular visual protocol), Move to Play – Play to Talk (building patterns and partnerships in play) in the USA and completed my Ayres’ Sensory Integration Certification and Sensory Intelligence Adult Practitioners course in 2012.

I have extensive training in learning difficulties including dyspraxia, dysgraphia and visual processing difficulties, and have conducted research into these specific learning difficulties.

I am HCPC registered and a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapy.
