What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need for everyday life. For autistic children and youth, OT focuses on sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, self-care routines, emotional regulation, and daily living activities. Our regulated Occupational Therapists create individualized plans that support your child at home, at school, and in the community.

Our Occupational Therapy Programs

Centre-Based OT

Hands-on occupational therapy sessions at our Ottawa clinic. Small group ratios and individualized attention in a structured, supportive environment.

Home-Based OT

Our OTs come to your home to work on daily living skills, self-care routines, and sensory strategies in the environment where your child feels most comfortable.

School-Based OT

We collaborate with teachers and school staff to support your child’s sensory, motor, and self-regulation needs directly in the classroom setting.

Occupational Therapy is Funded Through the OAP

HolistiCare is an approved Ontario Autism Program (OAP) provider. Occupational therapy is covered under OAP core clinical services — meaning your child may be eligible for funded OT sessions. Our team will help you navigate the funding process from start to finish.
