Children and Youth Occupational Therapy
Here at Thrive Therapy we use a play-based and family-centered approach to care in order to achieve our client's goals and maximum potential. Additionally, our therapists use evidence-based approaches, such as the Zones of Regulation, and the Interoception Curriculum. We also offer fun and motivating group therapy programs such as Lego Therapy.
We pride ourselves on being a neuroaffirming company, which celebrates the uniqueness and strengths of neurodivergent children and provide them and their families with the skills, tools, and strategies to allow for improved participation within the home, school, and play environments. We use sensory motor framework, as well as play and emotional connections, to support learning of lifelong skills.
