We are delighted to welcome a new speaker, Helen Wood who gives a fascinating insight into the role of the Occupational Therapist. Helen graduated from Cumberland College of Health Sciences in 1989. She then moved to the United States and worked in adult rehabilitation in a large hospital in Washington D.C. She has focused her career on neurological rehabilitation and after return to Australia she obtained her Masters Of Occupational Therapy at The University of Sydney. Helen has presented at numerous conferences both domestically and overseas and has co-authored a publication on autologous transplant. She has taught undergraduate occupational therapy students and has worked for many years completing medicolegal assessments for clients seeking compensation through the legal system. Helen's area of specialization is in adult neurological rehabilitation and traumatic brain injury. She currently works in her own private practice and in a private hospital working with adults with neurological impairments.
