Services
Speech Therapy
Our Speech Therapists address speech development, social communication, and feeding challenges in children aged 12 months to 18 years. Using evidence-based approaches like DIR/Floortime, we help children improve articulation, language comprehension, and social interaction skills. Therapy sessions focus on building confidence in school and playground environments while addressing sensory integration impacts on communication.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists help children develop fine motor skills, sensory processing abilities, and daily living skills. We address handwriting difficulties, attention challenges, and sensory regulation issues using play-based interventions. Our therapists work on improving coordination, self-care abilities, and classroom participation through tailored activity programs.
Psychology Services
Our Psychologists provide support for children with anxiety, ADHD, autism, and emotional difficulties. Individual counselling sessions focus on building coping strategies while parent support programs offer practical behavior management techniques. We conduct comprehensive assessments for autism, cognitive abilities, and psycho-educational needs.
Music Therapy
Music Therapy sessions use interactive musical activities to develop communication, motor skills, and social abilities. Individual and group sessions help children build confidence through structured musical play. This approach particularly benefits children with sensory processing challenges and social communication difficulties.
Dietetics
Our Dietitians address fussy eating, food allergies, and nutritional deficiencies in children. Specialized programs help transition children from tube feeding to oral intake while developing healthy eating habits. We provide practical mealtime strategies for families dealing with feeding challenges and eating disorders.
