Our Occupational therapists look at how children are functioning in their daily environments by assessing their abilities in three categories;

• self care (including toileting, bathing, eating etc.),
• productivity (at school, or on the job)
• and leisure activities.

An occupational therapist may be involved with you or your family if you have questions or concerns in any of the following areas:

• Fine motor or hand skills such as using a pencil, crayons or scissors.
• Play skills such as choosing appropriate toys and learning how play promotes overall development.
• Feeding skills such as decreasing sensitivity to different textures, spoon feeding, using a cup and adapted utensils.
• Self-care skills such as toileting including special equipment for toileting (i.e., grab bars adapted toilet seats), and dressing/undressing skills.
• Home renovations and accessibility.
• School issues such as accessibility, equipment at school and transitioning into a new school.
