Occupational and Physical Therapy
for complex kids
with simple needs
Welcome to Attic Therapy
...a space where we can collaborate towards a more inclusive environment for children
Kids are astounding in their ability to grow and take on new challenges, despite obstacles, disruptions, and difficulties. Reducing barriers to full engagement in meaningful and satisfying work, play, and growing independence is what we are all about.
Attic Therapy's involvement means...
...help in identifying what is holding kids back, and collaborative problem-solving to help clear the way so they can learn and grow and enjoy life in an inclusive community.

Rehab Sciences Presentation 2019
This presentation, given at a Rehabilitation Sciences conference in the University of Saskatchewan, aimed at articulating how the skills of an occupational therapist, in a multidisciplinary team, could be targeted towards supporting an inclusive education system, rather than trying to individually remediate deficits of learners.
Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) Presentation 2020
Occupational therapy as a profession is evolving to be responsive to the needs of the education system as a whole, rather than simply trying to provide health care within it. This presentation was given to the National Conference of CAOT in 2020.
Virtually, of course.
