Jemma Ploughman

Occuapational Therapist

Jemma is an experienced Occupational Therapist with over seven years of dedication to supporting children and their families. As co-founder of The Attuned Spot, Jemma is passionate about empowering families, educators, and professionals through collaborative, evidence-based strategies. She focuses on holistic approaches that nurture not only a child’s development but also the wellbeing of their entire support network, creating lasting change across home, school, and community settings.

“We both remember what it felt like to be students trying to make sense of things without the scaffolds we now know can change everything. Looking back, we see how much clearer thinking, flexible tools, and compassionate support could have shaped our own learning journeys. And today, in our work with students and families, we see just how many children still need exactly that.”

Writing is just one example. It’s more than putting words on a page—it’s a reflection of how we think, feel, and understand the world. But for many students, it’s also where they get stuck. We’ve seen capable, curious minds held back by overwhelm, structure, or the fear of getting it wrong. We’ve also seen what happens when the right supports unlock what’s already there.

That’s why we do this work.

  • We design resources grounded in real clinical practice, lived experience, and the everyday reality of parents, teachers, and therapists.

  • We support executive functioning, language, and emotional regulation—because these systems are deeply connected.

  • We integrate AI not to replace thinking, but to scaffold it—reducing cognitive load and making creativity more accessible.

Whether you're engaging with one of our guides, reading a handout, or exploring a new routine—this is your journey of learning and growth. Reflect, develop your understanding, and return whenever you're ready to deepen your practice.

We’re so glad you’re here.
