Pediatric occupational therapy at Eramosa Physiotherapy Associates, Guelph (Bullfrog Mall) clinic

From fine motor skills and printing to sensory needs, attention, toileting, and picky eating — our pediatric occupational therapist helps kids build the skills they need for school, home, and play. No referral is needed to book.

Occupational therapy helps children build the skills that let them take part fully in daily life — from motor skills and social interaction to independence in everyday activities. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or educator, understanding what OT offers can make a real difference in a child’s development.

Our pediatric occupational therapy draws on strategies tailored to each child, working alongside physiotherapy where it’s helpful to support the whole picture of your child’s development. If you need a connection to another community resource, don’t hesitate to ask us for a recommendation.

What to expect from your EPA for Kids occupational therapy experience

Path to Improved Health is the framework every Eramosa patient follows. We’ve used it to guide assessment, treatment, and recovery since 1997 — and it’s how we make sure nothing about your child’s care is left to chance.

Assessment and accurate diagnosis

Your occupational therapist starts with a thorough assessment — clinical observation, caregiver input, and, where useful, standardized tools — to understand your child’s specific needs across home, school, and play.

An individualized plan

Every plan is tailored to your child, combining hands-on strategies, education, and practice built around the goals you and your child’s therapist set together.

Progress that adjusts as your child grows

Your therapist tracks progress over time and adjusts the plan as your child develops, and collaborates with other providers — physicians, physiotherapists, or the school team — when it supports your child’s goals.
