Occupational therapists (OTs) provide assessment and intervention to support an individual’s participation in everyday meaningful activities. OTs work directly with individuals who have Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities, along with their families, schools, and community supports, to develop independence in fine and gross motor skills, address sensory needs, support transitions, and increase functional life skills.

Occupational Therapy is offered in weekly individual sessions for $160 per session (subsidized rate of $98 per session for families who do not receive At Home Program funding), with an optional assessment report available for an additional fee.

Families should inquire if a program offers financial assistance or if they qualify for funding (e.g. Variety, CKNW, At Home Program, CLBC) at the time of registration. Financial assistance allocation is at the sole discretion of the DSRF. Families not part of a funding program (such as the Autism Funding Unit or the At Home Program) are required to pay the full fee of the session. Sessions are billed once monthly. Depending on the funding model, you will receive an invoice for any monies owing and/ or organizations will be billed directly. You must pay in order to ensure continuity of services.
