Children are unique and so are their families, with different values, priorities, and life situations.
We enable families to explore, discover, and navigate pathways to success that best work for them. Informed by evidence and guided by best practice.​
​
​
What we do:
We work with families and children (0-7 years) with delays and various disabilities. Some examples include Autism, Developmental Delay, ADHD, neurological conditions (e.g. cerebral palsy), genetic conditions (e.g. Down Syndrome, Fragile X), intellectual and learning disabilities.​
Together, we enable children to participate in day-to-day activities and develop skills to increase their independence.
We listen to your goals and help identify the steps and support needed to reach them. Then we work with you to get there. We come with expertise on supporting child development, adapting tasks and environments.
We also recognize that you ultimately know best when it comes to your child and family.
Daily activities & natural environments:
​
Therapy is most successful when it is embedded in everyday life.
We come to your home, school, or community spaces to learn the skills in the places you will use them. We can set goals around any part of your day: ​
​
​
Self-care
Mealtimes, toileting, bathing, dressing, brushing teeth, sleep routines, and more.

Having fun, learning, and playing well with others.
Kinder \ School
