Meet Our Occupational Therapists

Our occupational therapists share a neuro-affirming, relationship-based approach and are committed to understanding the “why” behind each child's behaviour and individual needs. We work closely with parents and carers to build their understanding, confidence and practical skills, so that progress extends beyond the therapy room and into everyday family life.

A DIR®/Floortime Certified Team

 

All Kids World occupational therapists are DIR®/Floortime certified. Our therapists use the DIR® model to understand each child's Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities, individual sensory and motor processing differences, interests and relationships, and how these influence their engagement and participation in everyday life.

While our therapists share a common philosophy, each brings their own experience, strengths and interests to their work with children and families. Our team participates in ongoing mentoring and professional development under the clinical leadership of Director Georgina Ahrens, DIR®/Floortime Trainer and Profectum Foundation Associate Faculty member.
