A 15 minute virtual meeting or phone call where we thoroughly review your child's developmental history. A collaborative approach is used to set goals for your child.

In home or in clinic assessments available.

A 60 minute in-person* assessment. We can assess the following areas individually or in combination depending on the goals generated during our initial consultation:

• Handwriting assessment: evaluation of fine motor skills, visual motor skills, and pencil grip.
• Functional skills of daily living assessment: evaluation of toileting skills, feeding skills, and dressing skills.
• Sensory processing assessment: evaluation of the sensory processing system, including tactile and vestibular assessment, and emotion regulation.
• Early intervention assessment (age 6 months to 3 years): evaluation of social communication skills, fine motor skills, and gross motor skills.

Following the assessment, we provide an initial recommendation email for yourself and/or your child's teacher and other allied health professionals in order to provide continuity of care across a variety of settings. 

An individualised and detailed recommendation letter that can be used in support of insurance and OAP funding requests. Please note that completion times for the recommendation letter may vary between 1 to 2 weeks.

Visual Supports are visual communication tools that can be beneficial in assisting with activities of daily living, such as getting ready in the morning, toileting, coming home from school, and getting ready for bed in the evening. 

In home or in clinic sessions available.

I graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Toronto. I then completed a Master of Occupational Therapy at the University of Canberra in Australia in 2018. Since then, I have worked as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist in both Australia and Canada alongside children with a range of diagnoses. I am proficient with a variety of assessment tools and have acquired further skills through various professional development programs such as the Zones of Regulation, Handwriting Without Tears, and the Alert program. I have recently completed a comprehensive course on reflex integration. I am fluently bilingual and can offer French services upon request! 

 Zoe completed her Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy at Queen Margaret University in Scotland. Since graduating in 2020, she has moved back home to Toronto and has been working in paediatrics. Zoe has many years of experience working with children with a range of diagnoses and currently practices in a variety of clinical, community and home settings.

 Zoe is familiar with Ayre’s theory of sensory integration and uses this framework for her practice and to support assessment and treatment with clients. Zoe is passionate about occupational therapy, and believes in the importance of using a skills-based and individualized approach with each client. Having fun is key, so Zoe is passionate about combining the client's OT goals with having fun!

Throughout my life, I have always had a strong passion for health and wellness. I graduated from the OTA/PTA program at Humber College in 2023. I have comprehensive experience in a variety of healthcare settings and ages within the pediatric population. My mission is to help young ones reach their fullest potential physically and mentally, so that they may continue flourishing during their vital stages of development. My goal is to be approachable, inclusive and fun! 

Children are such a joy to work alongside, and I always

aspire for that to show through in my therapy. My mission is to help as many families as I can - I hope to meet you soon!
