Across the lifespan
We embody the deep respect we have for the resilience and self-determination of neurodivergent people, their families and carers.
What to expect when starting occupational therapy
A step by step approach, focused on understanding
Step 1: Intake Appointment
Your first session is usually a 90- minute intake appointment. We listen to your concerns and get to know you or your child to understand your strengths and what is hard right now.
Step 2: Assessment
If appropriate, your occupational therapist will conduct assessments with you and/or your child to develop measurable goals that are meaningful to you.
Step 3: Sessions
We will schedule your appointments at a time and place that works for you. This can be in person at your home, in the community or via telehealth, and soon at our hub opening in 2026.
