Yes. Occupational therapy is an eligible service under OAP funding when it supports children’s development, daily living skills, regulation, and participation at home, school, and in the community. Many families use their OAP funding to access OT services that are tailored to their child's needs.

Occupational therapy focuses on day-to-day skills – from tying shoes and handwriting to attention and self-regulation – and helps children engage confidently in daily life.

Yes. In fact, most of our clients have OAP funding, and our team has experience required to meet OAP requirements and guidelines.

If your child struggles with everyday tasks such as handwriting, attention, emotional regulation, coordination, self-care (dressing, feeding, hygiene), or sensory sensitivities, occupational therapy may help. At Thrive N Shine Therapy, we work closely with families to understand each child's unique needs and determine the right support.

Thrive N Shine Therapy Provides pediatric occupational therapy for children from Early Childhood through adolescence. Our therapy plans are always tailored to your child's developmental stage and individual goals.

Yes. Occupational therapy can support children with ADHD by improving attention, emotional regulation, executive functioning, motor planning, and daily routines. Our therapists use evidence-based strategies to help children succeed at home and at school.

Absolutely. Thrive N Shine Therapy supports children on the autism spectrum and those with sensory processing differences by focusing on self-regulation, sensory integration, communication through play, and functional life skills.

OT supports children with autism by addressing skills such as self-regulation, attention, sensory processing, daily living skills, fine motor development, and emotional regulation. For families using OAP funding, therapy goals are individualized and focused on meaningful outcomes that support the child’s independence and participation in everyday life.

Pediatric OT supports fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive functioning, handwriting, self-care, feeding, and participation in school and social activities.

An assessment includes observing your child's skills, understanding their challenges, gathering parent input, and identifying strengths. From there, we create a personalized therapy plan designed to support meaningful progress.

Occupational therapy focuses on functional daily skills – how a child moves, regulates emotions, processes sensory input, and participates in everyday activities. OT often works alongside speech therapy, ABA, or other supports as part of a collaboration care team.

Yes. Thrive N Shine Therapy offers services in centres, at home, and in community or school environments when appropriate, helping children practice skills where they matter the most.

Every child is different. Some children show changes within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Our focus is always on realistic, meaningful progress that fits your child's needs and family goals.

In most cases, a referral is not required. Families can contact Thrive N Shine Therapy directly to book an assessment or consultation.

Parents are a key part of therapy. We collaborate closely with families by providing strategies, education, and guidance to support skill development at home and in daily routines.

Parent involvement is a key part of our approach. We regularly share strategies, home recommendations, and education so families can support their child outside of therapy sessions. This helps maximize progress and ensures that OAP-funded therapy has meaningful carryover into daily life.

Every family’s situation is different. We work collaboratively with parents to determine therapy frequency and focus areas that align with their child's needs and their OAP funding plan. Our goal is to help families use their funding in a way that is intentional, effective, and sustainable.
