Case Managers
OT for Kids work with Case managers in providing the best care possible to children, the occupational therapist can arrange to meet yourself to discuss any concerns you may have over a particular case. This could include a home or school visit for safety and access to services, or treatment needed following an accident or injury. We offer the following services
One on One treatment
The occupational therapist would be able to provide one on one treatment in school, at home or at one of our clinics.
