Our occupational therapy team believes that

Play is a childhood occupation that is critical to early learning and emotional well-being.
Our participation and independence in all activities of daily living depends on successful manipulation of toys, tools, objects and/or materials.
Every child/adult can be empowered to participate in meaningful activities of daily living through the use of adaptations and/or technology.
