Kindergarten and School Based Therapy
We bring our therapy services directly to your child’s educational environment, whether it’s a kindergarten or school setting. Our therapists collaborate with teachers and staff to integrate therapy seamlessly into your child’s day, promoting skill development in familiar surroundings.
We take a proactive approach to school and kinder visits by organizing all paperwork with the school beforehand so that your child can have a smooth running first session. Our therapists bring their own resources and collaborate with teachers supporting them as needed with strategies that support your child’s specific needs.
From emotional regulation to handwriting and play, we address a wide range of difficulties to ensure comprehensive support for each child’s needs.
Home Based Therapy
For added convenience, we also offer therapy sessions in the comfort of your own home. Our therapists work closely with you and your child in familiar surroundings, allowing for personalized interventions tailored to your child’s unique needs.
The first session always takes place in our clinic so that we get to introduce ourselves to you and your child and to assess the child’s needs and establish therapy goals. Subsequent sessions are conducted in the familiar home environment.
We provide all necessary resources for home visits, ensuring that children receive consistent and effective therapy tailored to their individual requirements.
