Neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based pediatric occupational therapy in Montreal, Quebec.
What is Occupational Therapy?
In occupational therapy (OT), "occupations" refer to all of the tasks and activities people do on a daily basis. For children, these activities can include things like self-care, school, play, and leisure.
