Books & Resources for Parents
Occupational therapy doesn't stop at the end of a session. The strategies that help your child build focus, manage big feelings, and grow in confidence work best when they carry on at home. Alongside my clinical practice, I write evidence-based workbooks and guides for parents, children, and teenagers under the name A. E. Nicholls — practical, easy-to-use tools you can reach for whenever you need them.
