Support Programs
Welcome to The Lighthouse, where our Occupational Therapy services are designed specifically to support children in their school and therapy environments. Our dedicated occupational therapist works closely with your child to develop essential school-related skills. Moreover, they work alongside teachers and behaviour technicians to adapt tasks and environments, enhancing your child’s success.
What sets our occupational therapy services apart is that our therapists are specifically trained in autism-focused care. This specialized knowledge is crucial in addressing the complexities of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) effectively. We recognize that every child with Autism is unique, requiring personalized interventions tailored to their specific needs.
We’ve extended our Occupational Therapy services to all Lighthouse families and external clients. We are committed to providing individualized support that helps each child thrive.
Occupational Therapy is a specialized healthcare discipline focused on empowering individuals to participate fully in life by enhancing their ability to engage in a variety of essential and meaningful activities.
01 Activities that are necessary for an individual to perform in daily life.
02 Activities that are meaningful or highly valued by an individual.
Such activities typically fall under the broad categories of self-care, productivity, and leisure. Occupational therapists can help to adapt tasks or environments to match the needs and abilities of individuals or can focus on specific skill development in order to help facilitate participation in daily living with as much independence as possible.
Our dedicated occupational therapist works closely with our participants to develop an individualized treatment plan based on an initial assessment and goals that have been identified by the participant, their teacher and their family.
