Lede
Link University of London
" Dorset House in Bristol in 1929 with enough space for 800 patients in residence, and opened the first school of occupational therapy in the UK at Dorset House the following year. She took an active role in the therapeutic activities at Dorset House, " -do we need to state Dorset House three times?
"Casson was awarded an OBE for her work at Dorset House and was also made an honorary fellow of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists. A memorial lecture was set up in her name, and psychiatric unit was named after her at Callington Road Hospital." -when? Nothing mentioned about when she retired or died.
Biography
Link Denbigh, add in Wales.
One of her brothers, Lewis Casson went on to be an actor and theatre director. -comma needed after Casson
"St Mary's College, Paddington" -link?
Link Southwark
Link University of Bristol
"She graduated with her Bachelor of Medicine" - + degree?
"from University of London" add the and link
" She expanded Dorset House in 1930 to include the UK's first occupational therapy school, known as Dorset House School, acting as medical director herself." - probably "and became" would be better than "acting as"
"She actively involved herself in the daily therapeutic activities, often inspired by her artistic childhood and "tried to break down barriers between patients and staff"." -poor use of quotation, paraphrase it.
"Oxford Brookes University" -link?
It's not bad @Worm That Turned: but are you sure there's nothing more to say about her biographically? It's not very informative about her work and life really. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:25, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

I can have a look to see if there's anything more I can add while I sort out the the other stuff you have picked up WormTT(talk) 20:28, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
@Dr. Blofeld:, I've covered all the issues you raised and added a few more sentences about her work, mostly about her influences. Is there any area you'd like me to focus? WormTT(talk) 21:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Is there nothing else which can be added with this? It's still a little weak for GA to be honest.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:01, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Stacey and I are currently digging through our sources to see what we can find - is there any specific area that you think needs fleshing out? WormTT(talk) 10:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
@Dr. Blofeld: would love to hear your thoughts - we've fleshed out most sections article with more information, and added a whole new section on her activities outside Dorset House (president of at least 3 societies and a bit about some of the talks she gave.

In 1927 she became a member of the British Homeopathy Society and later became a fellow which lasted until her death.

In 1922 she "took the D.P.M" - I'm not sure what this is Doctor of Podiatric Medicine?
While at Holloway she got female medics together to discuss psychological medicine and formed the "Psychological Medicine of the Medical Women's Federation" - it was still on going at time of her death.
After winning Gaskell award she set up the Gaskell club for past winners which is an annual dinner to welcome new winners.
She credited Sir David Henderson for first giving her an interest in occupational therapy from his running of Gartnavel Hospital department.
Patients moved to Barnsley Hall Hospital, Bromsgrove during war. During war her own home was bombed which led to her moving to Clevedon.
After war school moved to Churchill Hospital, Headington and Casson visited regularly.
Was an active representative for her division for B.M.A.

Full Dorset house routine & good quotes.

Good quote from Casson about setting up of Dorest House.
