Mr Hugh Stewart

I joined the OT program in 1998, after 14 years mostly at the Novita Childrens Services (formerly Crippled Children's Association CCA) here in Adelaide, but included a couple of years traveling and working in Canada, and England. My last job at Novita(2005)was doing a project with NovitaTech and working as an OT in a classroom, but previously I was Manager of the Technology Promotions Department of Rehabilitation Engineering, and prior to that, I worked as an OT in the preschool and senior sections. My interests are play, sensation, assistive technology, research and physical disability. I live with my wife, son and daughter. When I am not working I like to paddle a canoe with the West Lakes Canoe Club. I am an avid cycle commuter. In 2003 we lived and worked in Thailand for 9 months. 2006-2008 I worked 0.4 FTE as a teacher in a local Junior Primary School. 2009-2011 I work 0.4FTE as an OT supervising students at the Playford Primary Health Care Service at Davoren Park. 2012 I worked casually doing some relief work in special schools around Adelaide.
