About Sidekick Occupational Therapy
Sidekick Occupational Therapy was created by Caz Morris, an OT that has worked locally for over 15 years. Caz is passionate about providing a service that puts the person first, hence the name ‘Sidekick’. Caz believes that is how therapy should be viewed and implemented. As a helpful support by your side through a season of life. Not to do for you, but with you. You are the main character, your sidekick is here if you need.
