Eliza Groat

Senior Lead Occupational Therapist/Service Lead: Vision

Hi, I’m Eliza! 

I started at Can:Do 4Kids in 2022. My experience is working with people with vision loss across the lifespan, currently focusing on early intervention for children and child development. This includes additional training and a keen interest in cortical vision impairment and acquired brain injury.

I specialise in supporting children with complex needs and working closely with families, I see the child as one part of the family and explore their strengths while helping them achieve individual goals.

I am passionate about working with Deafblind children and their families, supporting the child to explore their world and thrive through their other senses.

I love being part of a team that values collaboration and staying up to date with the latest knowledge in our fields.

Outside of work, you’ll find me at the beach with my kids or out squidding on the kayak.
