Occupational Therapy (Children & Youth)
Our Occupational Therapists (OTs) work with children and families to improve the underlying skills which enable participation in every day occupations. "Occupations" for a child include self-care skills, such as toileting, dressing and feeding; playing and socializing with friends; leisure activities; and learning activities such as writing, reading, and cutting.
Occupational Therapists provide support and recommendations for challenges of everyday life which are encountered at home, in the community, and/or within the school setting. The unique areas an Occupational Therapist can provide support are sensory processing differences, emotional regulation, difficulties planning and sequencing tasks, writing / pre-writing challenges, and motor skill development. In addition, OTs help with developing shared engagement, joint attention, as well as access to learning activities and environments.
Speech Therapy (Children & Youth)
Speech therapists, also called speech-language pathologists, work with people of all ages who may have difficulties with speech, language, communication, or swallowing. They assess the individual's abilities and develop personalized treatment plans to address areas of difficulty.
Speech therapy for children is a specialized form of intervention aimed at addressing speech and language disorders that may impact a child's communication skills, social interactions, academic performance, and overall quality of life.
The therapy sessions may involve exercises, activities, games, and other interactive techniques to improve communication skills. Speech therapists may also provide guidance and support to family members and caregivers to help reinforce progress outside of therapy sessions.

Our services can help clients reach their functional goals, prevent injuries, and develop, maintain, recover, and/or adapt their level of independence.

Counselling

Our therapists work with individuals to address the barriers affecting participation in various life roles.

Speech Therapy (Adults)
Speech Therapy can address a variety of communication and swallowing disorders for adults. Here are some common areas where speech therapy may be beneficial:
Communication Disorders:
- Aphasia: Often resulting from stroke or brain injury, this affects the ability to speak or understand language.
- Dysarthria: A motor speech disorder resulting in unclear speech, often due to neurological conditions.
- Voice Disorders: Issues with pitch, volume, or quality of the voice, which can be caused by strain or mical conditions.
- Fluency Disorders: Conditions like stuttering that affect the flow of speech.
Cognitive-Communication Disorders:
- Issues related to attention, memory, problem-solving, and organization, often stemming from brain injuries, strokes, or dementia.
Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia):
- Difficulty swallowing can be a significant concern, often requiring specialized strategies to ensure safe eating and drinking.
Social Communication Disorders:
- Challenges in understanding social cues, taking turns in conversation, or staying on topic, which may be present in conditions like autism or following a brain injury.
