Mary is a passionate advocate for the positive impact of OT interventions.

Mary has a wide-ranging OT skillset including, but not limited to, completion of specialist neurological medico-legal assessments, executive cognition and vocational rehabilitation assessment, access to assistive technology, development of independent living skills, contributing to environmental adaptations projects including equipment prescription, and management of complex physical disabilities, especially postural management.

A consummate communicator, both verbally and in writing, Mary delivers timely, precise, and focused clinical reports and is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable advocate for clients, with experience of delivering evidence in formal court settings. Mary builds long-lasting effective relationships with clients and service commissioners and is sought-out as an excellent clinical supervisor by fellow professionals.

Mary also leads her own team of hand-picked OT Associates within CNS and is an Expert Witness for assistive technology for clients with brain injuries.

 

“Mary has provided me with professional supervision for more than two years now. Her breadth and depth of knowledge has been invaluable in supporting me in my private clinical practice. She facilitates a measured and clinically curious discussion which makes for a supportive and productive supervisory relationship.”

“I’ve worked with Mary for over 3 years and every day one can see the passion she has for her job. Her extensive knowledge, ethics and professionalism are only surpassed by her principle of always having the patient’s best interest at heart. “

Alex, Registered Service Manager 

“I have worked with Mary McCarron for a decade and associates at Connect Neurotherapy Services for 4 years. Mary is an exceptional neuro occupational therapist and has been a key member of treating teams for my clients, many of whom have complex needs further to neurological injuries. Associates are also very experienced and reflect Mary’s approach to rehabilitation. I look forward to working on other cases with Connect Neurotherapy Services.”

“Mary has been a fantastic help to our clients she listens to the clients with patience, empathy and smiles. She understands that many clients are undergoing a variety of disabilities and challenges and she always meets this with a kind word or two, all the while motivating them towards their goals.”

Andrea, Chartered Legal Executive

“We have worked with Mary at Connect Neurotherapy and her associates over the last few years to provide additional OT to specific patients transferring to the community. On each occasion, we have received prompt responses, a clear and accurate pay structure with easy access to our patients notes allowing us to receive updates without incurring additional costs. Reports have been thorough and professionally written. As an OT, the direct therapy has been person-focused and goal led, as we expect it to be. I would highly recommend Connect Neurotherapy.”

Case Manager, Oxford Health NHS Trust

I really value her knowledge base, and she’s such good company as well, I always look forward to our sessions. I would thoroughly recommend her for clinical supervision.”
