      <image:title>therapy - 1:1 Therapy sessions 45 minute therapy appointments that will vary in frequency depending on your child's needs and depend on the services that they are already receiving (school therapy, home-based teams, etc.). Ideally we would see your child once a week initially to set up programs at either the clinic or at your home. Later as skills are being generalized and goals are being mastered, sessions may decrease in frequency and may only occur as needed.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We tailor your child’s session to their needs that day.. We use floor-time principles to follow a child’s lead, yet expand the interaction to help steer them towards learning skills We follow sensory integration principles in our sensory motor gym that meets Jane Ayers fidelity measures We have visuals to help scaffold or structure a session when it is beneficial to provide predictability Parents are encouraged to stay in a session and learn along with us. Yet may also leave to provide the child an opportunity to explore a different side of themselves safely in a trusting relationship with their therapist As part of the therapeutic hour, the therapist will: write notes after each session for you to review and/or share with other service providers discuss homework or activities to try at home between appointments. email resources or deliver handouts related to that session’s focus or area of learning</image:caption>

      <image:title>therapy - Groups</image:title>
      <image:caption>We offer small groups of 4-6 kids matched on skill level to run fun group activities.  The following programs work well in groups: Hiking club: go out for walks in the woods to learn about nature’s sensory ecosystems Snowsports club: love snow and want to meet others who do too. We can hike, snowshoe, ski, snowboard, XC ski Life skills: learn to take transit (bus/skytrain) to shop, eat, or meet friends for fun Cooking: learn how to plan a meal, grocery shop on budget, and cook together in a real kitchen Feeding: structured snack time to introduce new foods to picky eaters ALERT program for sensory-based emotional-regulation "How does your engine run?" School-Readiness: fine motor skills, pencil skills, drawing, cutting, printing Supportive social friendship groups for kids or teens</image:caption>

      <image:title>therapy - Consultations</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are available to help consult on home-based behaviour therapy teams.  In these sessions we may work with a Behaviour Interventionist (BI) to train them on how to deliver specific OT procedures, so that they can be carried out daily as part of their ongoing behaviour programming.   We are also available to attend team and school meetings to help advocate for services and share procedures/techniques with other service providers (Supported Education Assistants, Teacher Aides, etc..)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Groups - Ecosensory Adventures Hiking Club</image:title>
      <image:caption>Based on the ALERT program for emotional-regulation. Children learn how their body’s have different energies: sometimes they run on low, sometimes on high, and sometimes ‘just-right’. We learn to use our senses to help speed our engines up (energize) or slow our engines down (relax), so that we can have the ‘just-right’ energy for the activity. The outdoors is a rich sensory environment with lots of sensations to explore. We will go on easy day hikes to explore different ecosystems (forest, marsh, beach, river) and use our senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell/taste, movement) to explore nature. All ages, parent participation required, siblings are free 6 sessions on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) from 10:00am-12:00pm (various locations)</image:caption>
