Meet the Creator
Aileen Mathyssen
Paediatric Occupational Therapist
As a paediatric OT working in rural Australia, I've worked with hundreds of kids who feel 'too much', 'too fast' or 'too big'. I created Busy Brains so kids could understand what's going on inside — and feel empowered to do something about it.
