KIDDO CHATS: Navigating a neurodiverse or disability diagnosis in your child

Dino Mennillo OTFC group
In this episode we welcome Dino Mennillo, Occupational Therapist and the Clinical Director of the OTFC group; the longest standing private occupational therapy clinic in South Australia. 

Dino has worked with children for over 20 years and has a background in child and adolescent mental health, and continues to practise as a clinician at OTFC, along with training and supporting the clinical team.

We talk about how to navigate initial disability diagnoses and how to put a framework in place to support your child and the whole family moving forward.
