🧩 What is Occupational Therapy?

​

Occupational therapy (OT) helps people participate in activities that are meaningful and important to them. These activities can include:

• Taking care of yourself (and others) 

• Going to work or volunteering 

• Enjoying hobbies, sports, or creative activities 

• Spending time with friends and family 

 

OT is a client-centred health profession that supports people of all ages. Your occupational therapist will:

• Understand what activities you can do now (and what you want to do) 

• Identify any challenges or barriers 

• Explore your goals and what motivates you 

• Offer advice, strategies, and techniques to make activities easier, safer, and more achievable 

​

💖 Our Approach

We are a neurodiversity-affirming practice. This means:

• We do not provide social skills training to make someone “act like everyone else.” 

• We focus on supporting each person to achieve their own goals in ways that respect and celebrate who they are 

• Every therapy session is tailored to the client’s needs. Some may involve structured activities at a table, while others may involve play-based or real-life situation activities

📝 Facts About Occupational Therapy

• Not all OTs practice in every area of occupational therapy. We screen intake surveys carefully to make sure each client is matched with the therapist who is the best fit 

• Every session is individualised. Some clients may do structured activities, others may do play-based or functional life-based activities 

• Currently, our OT waitlist is longer than 3 months. To be added to the waitlist, please contact our admin team for an intake form
