JOTS Skills for learning and living. An occupational therapy service for children & adolescents. Hi ! I'm Julie and I am the occupational therapist behind JOTS.

I have been fortunate to work across a wide variety of settings over 23 years in practice (yikes!). I obtained my degree in occupational therapy from Oxford Brookes University in the UK and since then I've worked in mental health, learning disabilities, early intervention and school-based settings. Now, I am taking a big leap to working in private practice. A new adventure for sure. I am passionate about what I do and I love to empower children, adolescents and young adults with new and adaptive skills for living. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your child's development and how to help them develop or regain skills to get them doing what they want, need or love to do ~

Love this post! Please know that tasting, eating and enjoying food is genuinely more difficult for some people. Keeping an open mind this holiday season would be a great giftx

Autism & Food

Please don't feel upset if I don't eat the turkey today.

Or if I don't like your homemade stuffing.

I have autism. Food can be hard for me.

If I taste something with many textures and ingredients, I have to stop and sort out all the different flavors so my brain can recognize them.

That's why I don't like foods with a lot of mixed-up things, like sweet potatoes with marshmallows.

Please don't insist I try something that you love because you can't understand why I won't also love it.

Please don't insist I will eat when I am good and ready.

Watch my parents.

See how my father quietly hands me the snack we packed from home.

Notice how my mother gently offers a few small bites of food she thinks I will enjoy.

They know. On days like today, when my schedule is different and there are lots of new smells and noises, they know what's most important is that I eat something.

I don't make my best choices when I'm hungry.

Today, see me as I am.

Meet me where I stand.

Happy Thanksgiving.
