More than you may realize, there are a number of skills that toddlers need to engage in their primary occupation, which is to play! To support children in developing independent play skills, body awareness, and engaging safely and more successfully with their environment - we use play-based therapy strategies that are evidenced-based, engaging, and fun for your child.

Preschool-aged children are developing many skills, such as emotional regulation, social and educational skills, and the ability to participate in daily routines, such as dressing, bathing, and brushing teeth. Because this age group is developing their independence and autonomy, we pair a child-led approach with evidenced-based therapy strategies to support them in achieving their goals.

Sometimes families come to us when difficulty with practical skills- such as doing homework, scheduling, money management or time management begins to hinder their child's growth. We support children and teenagers in developing organizational and executive functioning skills, as well as skills to better engage with their peers and in the community, by highlighting their strengths and incorporating their interests into evidence-based therapy.
