Private Services

We offer a variety of private services in Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology. Our Gross motor room and Sensory room facilities can also be utilized by the public.

Social Groups

Social Thinking Groups are a fun way to learn and practice important social skills in a group setting. These groups follow the curriculum from The Incredible Flexible You program, created by Ryan E. Hendrix, Kari Zweber Palmer, Nancy Tarshis and Michelle Garcia Winner.

Groups will focus on several important concepts:

Understanding the thoughts and feelings of others.
Being part of a group and working together.
Interpreting other’s body language.
Showing people you are listening and paying attention to them.
‘Reading people’s minds’ by watching what they are doing.

Groups are intended for the following:

Children who are Preschool age to Grade 2.
Normal or ‘near normal’ language skills.
Great for children with a diagnosis of ASD; however, any child who has difficulty understanding and relating to others would benefit.
Children who have transitioned from one-on-one intervention and are ready to practice skills in a group setting.

The groups run as evening sessions once weekly for 8 weeks (session length is 1.5 hours). Opportunities for parent learning and discussion are provided while children are in session.

Kids Connect

Join us for our new social skill development group!

This group is meant for children to learn and practice important
social skills that will help them to understand and relate to other
kids their own age.

Children will participate in a fun group situation, where they will learn new social
concepts each week. They will have opportunities to practice using the concepts
with other kids. Groups will involve focused group time, craft making, play and
game activities that all relate to the theme of the week. Extension activities will
be provided for caregivers to practice at home with the children in between group
sessions.

Groups will be run by Clinical Team members (e.g., Speech Language Pathologist,
Occupational Therapist, Behaviour Consultant, Early Intervention Specialist), and
feature an adult to child ratio of 1:4.

Who is this program for?
This program is meant for children who are in Grade 1 through 6, who have
social communication difficulties (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD,
Developmental Delays). To benefit from this program children should:
• Be able to participate in a group setting fairly independently (i.e., without
behavioural challenges)
• Be a verbal communicator

Assess & Train

We offer a variety of assessment services plus computer education and training.

An assessment will determine the best age-appropriate program and recommend the best assistive device or technology based on the individual’s needs. Once assessed, clients can access our Equipment Lending Service and sign up for additional training and education opportunities.
