Why choose COTS?
At Cornerstone Occupational Therapy Services (COTS), we believe that exceptional services are built on clinical expertise, integrity, innovation, and a genuine commitment to developing people. Whether supporting children and families, healthcare organizations, or occupational therapists, our goal is to build strong foundations that lead to lasting success.
Extensive Clinical Expertise
Our founder brings over 39 years of occupational therapy experience, including 18 years as a Clinical Specialist in Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Ireland. This extensive clinical background ensures that every service is grounded in evidence-based practice, sound clinical reasoning, and practical experience.
Global Perspective
Having practiced in Kenya, the United States, Rwanda, and Ireland, COTS offers a unique international perspective on occupational therapy practice. This breadth of experience enables us to understand different healthcare systems, adapt to diverse cultural contexts, and apply international best practice to local service delivery.
Lived Experience of International Relocation
Having personally experienced professional relocation and integration into different healthcare systems, we understand the challenges internationally educated occupational therapists face. This first-hand insight allows us to provide practical, relevant, and meaningful support to both clinicians and employers throughout the recruitment, orientation, and transition process.
Expertise Across Diverse Areas of Practice
Our clinical experience spans acute hospitals, rehabilitation, early intervention, community services, school-based practice, paediatric disability services, specialist paediatric care, and higher education. This breadth of knowledge enables us to provide comprehensive, holistic, and flexible solutions tailored to a wide range of clinical and organizational needs.
Education, Training and Workforce Development
COTS has extensive experience designing and delivering bespoke education and training programmes for occupational therapists, multidisciplinary teams, healthcare organizations, parents, and caregivers. Our programmes combine current evidence, practical application, mentorship, and reflective learning to build confidence, competence, and professional capability.
Clinical Leadership and Mentorship
We are passionate about developing people. Through structured induction programmes, competency-based clinical supervision, mentoring, and professional coaching, we support occupational therapists at every stage of their careers to achieve clinical excellence and professional growth.
Tailored Solutions
Every organization, clinician, child, and family is unique. We work collaboratively with our clients to understand their specific needs and develop flexible, bespoke programmes rather than relying on standardized approaches. This ensures our services are relevant, practical, and outcome-focused.
Commitment to Quality and Excellence
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to evidence-based practice, continuous professional development, strong clinical governance, and the highest standards of professional integrity. Our focus is on delivering services that improve outcomes, strengthen professional practice, and support sustainable workforce development.
Building Strong Foundations
Our name reflects our philosophy. Just as a strong cornerstone provides stability and support for a building, COTS is committed to building strong foundations for children, families, clinicians, and organizations. Through expertise, education, mentorship, and innovation, we help people grow with confidence, competence, and purpose.
