PEDIATRICS

At Personal Best Therapy our team provides comprehensive OT assessment, treatment and/ or consultative services to children and youth in the community. The location is flexible and may include the daycare, school or home environment where the child/youth feel comfortable and safe. There are virtual options available, if appropriate (e.g. team meetings).  Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss whether OT assessment and treatment in indicated for your child.

We value the opportunity to collaborate with the child/youth, family/ caregivers and other professionals involved (e.g. physiotherapists, speech language therapists, school personnel, etc.) to assist your child in attaining their goals. We strive to facilitate positive communication within the entire team.

 

Our pediatric OT’s all have experience working in a Children’s Hospital environment which has allowed us to build connections with the pediatric medical community. This has allowed us to develop skills as a result of our work:

  • On Inpatient wards (e. g. Medical, Surgical, Orthopedic, Burns, TBI, etc.)
  • With Individual or Group Outpatient OT treatment (Neurodevelopmental treatment, Fine Motor/ Visual Motor Skills, Handwriting, Social Skills, How Does Your Engine Run, etc.)
  • In Out-Patient Clinics (e. g. Plastic Surgery, Burns, Rheumatology, etc.).
  • Developing Psychosocial Programming (e. g. School Re-Entry Presentations, Image Enhancement/ Self-esteem building, etc.)
