Sally Townend

Senior Development Officer, ACE Centre-North

Following qualification as an Occupational Therapist in 1988, Sally held a number of posts as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist before joining the ACE Centre-North in 1993.

Sally's interest has always been in working with children with severe physical disabilities in a range of settings, including mainstream schools, special schools, and the home environment. This interest was developed in 1998 when Sally became Bobath trained allowing her to develop her knowledge of working with children with Cerebral Palsy. Working within an interdisciplinary team has always been an important part of her work when developing an individual's skills.

Sally's interest in giving individuals access to independence through Assistive Technology led her to join the ACE Centre-North inter-disciplinary Assessment and Training Team as the Occupational Therapist. In 1996 she became Senior Development Officer with additional responsibility for the co-ordination of The Centre's resources and development of assessment and training materials.
