Zahra Ansari

I am a recent graduate from the Occupational Therapy program at the University of Toronto. Before that, I had completed my undergraduate degree in biomedical science at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University). I have a passion for a variety of areas in Occupational Therapy, including stroke rehabilitation, musculoskeletal, mental health, and working with children.

I am a motivated and compassionate Occupational Therapy graduate from the University of Toronto with experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities to enhance independence, participation, and well-being. I have completed my student placements in acute care, rehabilitation, developmental disabilities, and mental health. Through my work and placements, I have developed strong skills in assessment, intervention planning, and collaboration within interdisciplinary teams.

I am passionate about promoting functional skills, sensory regulation, and engagement in meaningful activities, and I bring a client-centred, evidence-based approach to every setting.

I hold a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Toronto, where I gained comprehensive training in assessment, intervention planning, and client-centered care across various populations and practice settings. My coursework and fieldwork emphasized evidence-based practice, sensory integration, mental health, and developmental rehabilitation, providing a strong foundation for working with children and individuals with diverse needs.
