Hi, my name is Arzeen Cooper Boyd and I have recently started as a sub-contractor with Connecting Together working in the Waikato/Hamilton region for Melissa. I am a New Zealand Registered Occupational Therapist with a background of working in physical and mental health, child development, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have worked in a range of different roles, different health settings, and with all age groups throughout my career. I have also had the privilege of being a guest lecturer at the Waikato Institute of Technology (WINTEC) for several years. Most recently, I worked for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants and private clients in Queensland, Australia for a few months. I am excited to be back home in NZ.

• For the past decade, I have specialized in neurodiversity and sensory processing, which has driven my passion for early intervention and child development. After years of working in district health boards and other public health and non-governmental organizations with different age groups, I decided to further explore my passion for working with children and their families to achieve what is meaningful and important through the private sector".
