About this service
Everyday skills, built through play
Occupational therapy helps children do the things that make up their day: getting dressed, holding a pencil, sitting calmly in class, eating a range of foods, and managing big feelings. When those everyday “jobs” are harder than they should be, our pediatric occupational therapist works with your child and family to close the gap — through play-based, goal-driven sessions that feel fun, not clinical.
Based at our Vitality Kids clinic in Riverside South, we support infants, children, and teens across Ottawa. Every plan starts with a thorough assessment and is built around your child’s strengths, your family’s priorities, and the real settings where skills matter most: home, school, and play.
