Occupational Therapists provide support to individuals who find it difficult to complete daily activities (or occupations) independently. Such activities can include: feeding/eating, playing with toys, printing and cutting, self-help skills, and sitting appropriately in groups. An Occupational Therapist from our team with Firefly Therapy Services will assess the needs of your child, develop a treatment plan with your input, and implement the plan in a play-based environment that captures the interests of your child. Our team of Occupational Therapists are graduates of an accredited program in Occupational Therapy, and are registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (COTO). All staff are KidsAbility employees, and therefore provide services that are consistent with KidsAbility’s mission statement: Empowering children and youth with special needs to realize their full potential.
