Children & Youth Occupational Therapy
At Thrive Therapy we use a play-based approach to care in order to achieve our client's goals and maximum potential. Our therapists use evidence-based frameworks, such as the Zones of Regulation, and the Interoception Curriculum, and we offer fun and motivating group therapy programs such as Lego Therapy.
Our goals are to help families:
-
Make supporting their child feel easier, more enjoyable, and less overwhelming
-
Access timely support so their child can get help as quickly as possible
-
Reduce the financial burden of therapy by providing practical, efficient, and informed care options
-
Use strategies that take less time and effort, making support sustainable over the long term
-
Support their child’s needs while also caring for the well-being of the entire family
-
Continue meeting their child’s needs consistently, even while travelling or away from home
We pride ourselves on being a neuroaffirming company, which celebrates the uniqueness and strengths of neurodivergent children/youth and provide them and their families with the skills, tools, and strategies to allow for improved participation within the home, school, and community environments. We use a sensory motor framework, as well as play and emotional connections, to support learning of lifelong skills.
