We’re here to support your family beyond the therapy room. This space brings together trusted resources and upcoming events—all designed to help you feel informed, confident, and connected in your child’s journey.
The teenage years can feel overwhelming. Occupational therapy gives teens tools to manage emotions, build independence, and connect in ways that feel authentic. With a supportive, neurodiversity-affirming approach, OT helps young people feel more confident in themselves and better equipped to handle daily life.
Not sure what occupational therapy actually involves? You’re not alone. At Light OT, we help children and teens build independence, manage emotions, and participate more fully in everyday life. Our family-centred approach focuses on strengths, not just challenges — supporting your child to feel safe, confident, and connected.
Building relationships can be challenging for young adults. Light OT supports connection in safe, authentic ways — helping young people understand their communication style, set boundaries, and build confidence in relationships.
Every child has unique strengths, abilities and potential. A strengths-based approach in occupational therapy focuses on what children already do well—building confidence, increasing motivation, and making therapy meaningful. By celebrating neurodiversity and valuing individuality, this approach empowers children to grow, connect and thrive.
