OT support at home, school, in the community, and online

Support can happen where daily life happens

Our OT services are available in the clinic, at home through in-home sessions, and in your community through mobile OT. It’s the same support, delivered where it fits your child’s day. The useful setting depends on the goal and the routine where a difficulty shows up.
