Radhika’s initial years of OT practice commenced in 2003 at Christian Medical College & Hospital, South India. From 2013 to 2015, she worked as part of the Early Childhood Intervention Services (ECIS) at the Central Gippsland Health Service, Sale VIC. Thereafter, Radhika has worked for multiple paediatric services in the private and community sectors in Melbourne.

Arise N Shine Kids OT was started in February 2021 with the vision to enable “Little People to Develop Skills to Arise N Shine!”. Radhika aims to provide high-quality, evidence-based services to set a pathway to enhance positive outcomes (goal focussed therapy input). Radhika believes the key to success are connecting & communicating with the child, providing the ‘just right’ challenge and working in partnership with the team around the child (e.g., parents, caregivers, educators, health/allied health workers).
