We are an Ontario Autism Program (OAP) provider.

Occupational Therapy

Supporting independence, emotional regulation, and participation in everyday life.

At The Communication Clinic, our occupational therapists (OTs) help children and youth build the skills they need to confidently engage in daily routines at home, school, and in the community. Therapy is developmentally appropriate, play-based, and tailored to the child’s unique strengths and challenges.

School Readiness & Functional Skills

School Readiness & Functional Skills

We support children in developing the foundational skills that promote independence and success at school.

Therapy may focus on:

  • Pencil grasp and printing
  • Scissor skills and hand strength
  • Visual-motor integration
  • Following routines and transitions
  • Task initiation and completion
  • Attention and organization

 

Sensory Processing & Self-Regulation

Sensory Processing & Self-Regulation

Some children experience challenges in how they take in and respond to sensory input. We help children learn to manage and regulate their bodies and emotions in ways that feel supportive and safe.

Areas of focus may include:

  • Sensitivity to sounds, textures, or movement
  • Difficulty staying calm or alert
  • Emotional outbursts or shutdowns
  • Motor planning and body awareness
  • Developing personalized regulation strategies

Life Skills & Everyday Routines

  • Play skills and social participation
  • Building confidence in new environments
