Our Clinic
Occupational Therapist help children in many areas, including fine and gross motor skills, sensory integration, self-regulation, social thinking skills, play skills, self-care and managing behavioural challenges.

Why do you want a Sensory Smart Kid?
Because understanding how you respond to different sensory input helps you manage your day and hack your routines to support you and your child to be more successful.
By seeing yourself and the world through a sensory lense, you can understand why you might feel more comfortable in some situations than others. Learning about your unique sensory profile means you can understand your brain and we can advocate for what you need to thrive.
