Profile

Kerry has developed a fantastic reputation as a Case Manager with over 12 years experience, working with complex family situations and coordinating significant 24/7 packages of care. Many of the children and adults Kerry works with have cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury and therefore have significant and long-term mobility, communication and learning disabilities.

Kerry has spent many years supporting adults with longer term neurological impairments and traumatic brain injury, both as a case manager and occupational therapist, which provides with a wealth of experience to draw up when assessing the long-term needs of individuals going through litigation. In addition to recruiting and managing care packages, Kerry also assists her clients to arrange therapies, specialist education, adaptive transport and disabled access holidays. Due to the trauma often felt following a catastrophic injury, Kerry is skilled in sensitively arranging psychological support for her clients and if required their family members.

In addition to her case management and expert witness roles, Kerry is a specialist housing Occupational Therapist. During her career, Kerry has developed a strong and detailed knowledge of specialist equipment, as well as adaptations for disabled access. As an occupational therapist she looks closely at function, assessing carefully what the client and their family need to be able to do within their homes. Kerry is passionate about housing adaptations and design to create a home for her clients that reflects not only their needs but their lifestyles.
