How we help

What can an Ottawa Occupational Therapist can do for you?

Improve fine motor skills, gross motor skills, mental acuity to raising a person's confidence, resilience and interpersonal skills at any age.

Motor Skills

OT is a treatment that works to improve a person's fine and gross motor skills as well as motor planning. The process can also help kids and adults who struggle with self-regulation and sensory processing. A good Ottawa OT program can be essential during a child's formative years and invaluable to all persons recovering from injuries or illnesses.

Strengths & Challenges

Ottawa OT programs are tailored to a child’s or adult's specific needs. To establish a baseline of challenges and strengths an OT needs to conduct an initial one-on-one study to determine what the person has trouble with.

Balance & Coordination

Dealing with challenges of coordination and clumsiness will raise a person's confidence and social acceptance. Children can often be bullied which can make it tough to make friends and enjoy a positive school environment. The right Ottawa OT program can help mitigate these problems.
