SCHOOL-BASED OT
School-Based OT in Ottawa
With the school’s agreement, your child’s occupational therapist can work with them during the school day, in the classroom where they use these skills. Sessions are private and one-on-one, arranged by your family, at private, public and Catholic schools across Ottawa.
WHY AT SCHOOL
One-on-one care at your child’s school
We come to the school
Your OT visits private, public and Catholic schools across Ottawa, with the school’s agreement.
Save time
No drive to a clinic, no waiting room and no time off work. Sessions happen during the school day.
Skills in the classroom
Your child works through their development plan in the setting where they need it most, so progress carries into the school day.
Teachers in the loop
With your permission, strategies are shared with teachers and support staff so practice continues between visits.
Private and one-on-one
Each session is arranged by your family and focused entirely on your child.
Competitive pricing
Without the overhead of a clinic, we pass the savings on to you, with better value on 10-session blocks.
What sessions can focus on
- Printing, handwriting and keyboarding
- Attention, organization and classroom routines
- Sensory and self-regulation strategies for the classroom
- Recess, gym and playground skills
- Getting ready: lockers, zippers and lunch containers
Working with your school
With your permission, your OT can share strategies with teachers and support staff so the work continues between visits. A written report is available if the school asks for one.
Most families begin with an assessment. Ask your school whether outside therapists can visit, then contact us to arrange a time.
