Mrs. Britton’s presentation, titled “The Role of Occupational Therapy in Enhancing Quality of Life for Neurodivergent Individuals: A Neuroscience-Informed Approach,” will explore how contemporary occupational therapy can meaningfully contribute to improved participation, autonomy, and wellbeing for neurodivergent individuals. The session will emphasize the importance of strengths-based, person-led frameworks rooted in neuroscience rather than traditional deficit-focused therapeutic models.
About the Speaker
Claire Britton is an accomplished occupational therapist, educator, and advocate with a strong commitment to advancing neurodiversity-affirming practice. She is the Founder and Director of Neuroinclusion, a national organisation in Australia that offers therapy services, professional training, and consultancy designed to foster inclusive environments in educational, clinical, workplace, and community settings.
Her expertise focuses on supporting Autistic and ADHD individuals through approaches that acknowledge sensory needs, executive function differences, identity formation, and lived experience. Claire’s work integrates neuroscience, occupational therapy, and inclusion-focused methodology to promote systems that respect diversity and enable meaningful participation in daily life.
As a highly respected speaker, she collaborates nationally and internationally with multidisciplinary professionals, advocates, and policy stakeholders to strengthen awareness and implementation of inclusive frameworks within health, education, and social systems.
Session Relevance
As global understanding of neurodiversity continues to progress, there is increasing recognition of the need to reframe therapeutic approaches to align with autonomy, dignity, and evidence-based practice. Mrs. Britton’s session will address key themes including:
-
Neuroscience perspectives on sensory processing and cognitive differences
-
The evolution of occupational therapy within neurodiversity-affirming practice
-
Strategies to support daily living, regulation, communication, and participation
-
Collaborative care models that prioritise identity, autonomy, and self-advocacy
-
The role of research, policy, and interdisciplinary collaboration in systemic change
