Jordan Dunn
Occupational Therapist
Jordan is an Occupational Therapist who graduated from the University of Sydney with Honours (Class 1).
Jordan values building genuine connections with the individuals and families she works alongside and understands that every child has their own unique strengths, interests and way of experiencing the world. Through realistic strategies, Jordan aims to support participation, confidence, emotional wellbeing, and independence across everyday environments including home, school, and the community. Jordan believes that therapy should be an enjoyable, collaborative and playful space for children and adolescents to learn and grow.
With a strong interest in neuroaffirming practice, Jordan is particularly passionate about supporting autistic children and adolescents. Jordan is intrigued by the strong connection between sensory processing and emotional regulation and how it impacts everything including executive functioning, social participation, and school engagement. Jordan works closely with families, teachers, and other members of a young person’s support team to ensure therapy approaches are individualised, practical, and aligned with each child’s goals and needs.
Jordan draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches in their work, including sensory regulation supports, strengths-based and collaborative practice, emotional regulation frameworks, play-based therapy, and environmental accommodations to help children feel successful and supported in their daily lives. Specifically, Jordan frequently uses the Kelly Mahler interoception curriculum to ensure children can notice, interpret, and regulate internal body signals – the first step to building a strong sense of self and developing strong emotional regulation skills. Jordan is especially passionate about helping young people build self-understanding, self-advocacy skills, and confidence in who they are. Jordan values creating therapy that feels engaging, achievable, and genuinely meaningful for both children and families, while recognising the importance of flexibility, connection, and nervous system safety.
Outside of work, Jordan enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her week is busy with sport (soccer, oztag and netball), as well as attending concerts and events all over Sydney.
