Children's Services

 Whole Therapies offers services to newborns, preschool-aged and school-aged children with any health condition. We are prepared to collaborate with other health professionals in the community to meet the needs of your child and understand the ins and outs of the public health care system. Whether it is a simple developmental concern or a larger behavioural problem that is affecting you or your child's ability to function and better yet thrive in daily life, Whole Therapies is ready to listen to your story and come up with an intervention plan that works. 

Children's services 

 

birth: 0-1 year

Whether you are a new parent looking for guidance on childhood development such as newborn milestones, positioning, nursing and early feeding skills, schedule and daily routine, or your child has a new diagnosis or a specific problem that you simply cannot figure out, Whole Therapies is prepared to listen to your concerns and create a plan that supports you and your child's needs. Not sure we can help? Just contact us and inquire! We would love to hear from you. 

preschool: 2-5 years

The preschool years are jam packed with development in all areas: cognitive, psychosocial, motor, functional skills (such as dressing and eating), sensory processing and self-regulation. As much as it is an important stage in child development, it is also a tricky one! A lot of questions and challenges can arise for caregivers and their children. Whether you are wondering about a specific skill/occupational task such as eating, play, socialization, transitions, pre-school readiness such as drawing and early literacy skills, or you are seeking support in the role of being a caregiver and managing the daily grind (we know about the daily grind!) Whole Therapies is here for you. We offer assessment, intense bursts of therapy, or monthly consultation to meet all your child's and general caregiving needs.

Youth: 6-12 Years

The school years can be an overwhelming and challenging time for children and caregivers alike. Lets work on making these years manageable and better yet, enjoyable! Perhaps your child is struggling with a specific task (coordination in gym class, attention in group settings, picky eating, writing or reading, etc.), or your child gets easily overwhelmed, upset or has trouble calming down? Perhaps you as a caregiver are feeling overwhelmed and are looking for that glorious meal plan or a means to balance work with play and maybe a bit of sleep? Whole Therapies can help! We can work with your child as well as with you to create smart goals and intervention plans that will make these school-aged years a successful phase in life.

adolescent: 13-18 years

By now the social pressures and cognitive demands your child faces are at their peak. Early developmental issues may now be old news or are escalating to a point of chronic concern. With increasing demands for independence, developing executive functioning skills becomes important. This stage also brings questions related to your child's occupational interests and motivation to engage in tasks that create meaning in life. Sometimes even adults don't know what their purpose in life is, so how can we expect our children to! Whole Therapies takes time to consider the whole picture and empower children and their families to live their best life.
