what we offer.
Through a family-centred and strength-based approach, we provide therapy services at Specialized Services for Children and Youth Centre (SSCY) or in children's homes, daycares and schools. Therapy services can include working directly with the child, doing hands-on activities to support communication development; or consultative support for caregivers and teachers who work with the child.
Our team of language specialists, occupational and physiotherapists develop a comprehensive program that supports expression and connection through American Sign Language (ASL), spoken language, pictures and gestures, or combination/bi-lingual.
