Our Process
We have in-person spots available in Markham (and surrounding areas) for children needing support at home, daycare, or private school. Online services are available to families across Ontario.
Free 15-minute Consultation
Chat with Jessica to discuss your child’s needs. We want to ensure that each child is the right fit to ensure success.
Assessment
Assessments are play based and focus on getting to know your child’s strengths & challenges to inform a treatment plan. They include a short, informal written summary. Formal assessment reports are available upon request.
Parent Feedback Session
Virtual parent feedback sessions serve the purpose of discussing the assessment results and treatment plan without the child present. We believe children should hear us build them up!
Intervention
Therapy sessions target functional goals that will impact your child’s life. Intervention can be a mix of direct therapy, parent coaching, education & support.
