Welcome to Rocket OT!

Rocket OT is a website containing free resources, content and information for parents, educators and therapists about all things related to child development and occupational therapy. Rocket OT is home to the Regulation Rocket: a unique model of self regulation development that is holistic, applicable, individualised, and evidence based.

Rocket OT is run by Simone Ryan, an experienced and passionate occupational therapist dedicated to the field of paediatrics. Simone has almost 10 years of experience as an occupational therapist and loves talking all things occupation!

At Rocket OT, the focus is on providing practical strategies in real environments. This means our content is aimed at collaboration with therapists, parents, caregivers, and educators to ensure supports are both feasible and effective for your unique individual and their environment. No two children, families, homes or classrooms are the same- so why should your therapy be? As occupational therapists, we understand the crucial role environment plays in skill acquisition and development. That’s why at Rocket OT, we recommend accessing therapy in real environments: places where you (or the person you are supporting) actually spend their time.
