• Cerebral Palsy

• Down syndrome

• Developmental coordination disorder

You do not need a diagnosis or referral from a doctor to receive occupational therapy services. Many kids can benefit from extra support. If your family or child have a goal in mind, we are here to help.

What ages do you work with?

We work with children ages 1-18 years old.

What does an occupational therapy session look like?

Sessions are carefully thought out and planned by your therapist to address your child's individualized goals. Your therapist will tailor activities so that the session is fun, engaging, and the "just right" challenge to support your child's skill and confidence.

Sessions are typically 1-hour in length, which includes 50-minutes of direct therapy time, 5 minutes of caregiver communication, and 5 minutes of documentation. Caregivers are welcome to join in for their child's session.

What are your rates?

Please contact us to receive an appropriate quote, depending on the service you are seeking.

We can direct bill Autism Funding and the At-Home Program. Kindly let us know if you are accessing funding through another agency or organization.

If you have extended health care benefits, please check your plan to see if you are covered for occupational therapy services. We can provide you with a receipt that can be submitted to your provider for reimbursement.

Do you have a waitlist?

Thanks for the addition of a few new team members, we are accepting new clients! We have a few daytime spots remaining so please contact us to book in. Please note that we do not currently have any afterschool time slots available.

What is your cancellation policy?

To ensure we can accommodate all our client's needs, we ask for at least 24-hours notice if you need to change or cancel your appointment. Clients who provide less than 24-hour notice or miss their appointment will be responsible for paying the full fee for the scheduled session.
