Occupational Therapy in Vaughan
Helping children build the fine motor, sensory, and daily living skills they need to thrive - right here in Vaughan.

Multidisciplinary OT + SLP + ABA Collaboration in Concord & Bradford
Integrated Support Coordinated Under One Roof
At Hand in Hand Therapy Centre, our occupational therapy program is delivered by a team that also works closely with our registered speech-language pathologists, ABA/IBI therapists, and social skills groups - so if your child needs support in more than one area, everything is coordinated under one roof, not spread across separate providers who never talk to each other.

Local and Easy to Get To
Our Concord clinic serves Vaughan, Woodbridge, Maple, Thornhill, and Kleinburg; our Bradford clinic serves Bradford West Gwillimbury and southern Simcoe County.
True Multidisciplinary Team
Occupational therapy goals are coordinated with speech therapy and ABA/IBI programming when a child receives more than one service - so skills reinforce each other instead of being worked on in isolation.
Individualized, Not Templated
Every plan starts with a hands-on assessment of your child's fine motor, gross motor, sensory processing, and daily living skills.
Experience with Complex Needs
Particular strength supporting children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing differences, and developmental delays.
Our Occupational Therapy Services
Fine Motor Skill Development
Handwriting, cutting with scissors, buttoning, zipping, and the small-muscle coordination kids need for school and self-care.
Sensory Processing Support
Helping children who are over- or under-sensitive to sound, touch, movement, or textures manage daily environments - classrooms, mealtimes, and busy public spaces - more comfortably.
Daily Living Skills (Self-Care)
Dressing, feeding, toileting routines, and other activities of daily living, broken into achievable steps.
Gross Motor & Coordination
Balance, body awareness, and coordination - often connected to a child's confidence in gym class, on the playground, and in sports.
Occupational Therapy Integrated with ABA & Speech
For children already in our ABA therapy or speech programs, OT goals are built into the same overall plan rather than treated as a separate track.
What to Expect
Initial Consultation
We discuss your concerns and what daily routines look like at home and at school.
Assessment
An occupational therapist evaluates fine motor, sensory, and daily living skills through observation and standardized tools.
Individualized Plan
Goals are set collaboratively with you and coordinated with any other therapy (speech, ABA/IBI) your child receives with us.
Ongoing Therapy & Progress Reviews
Regular sessions with clear updates on progress and home practice strategies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Physical therapy focuses on gross motor movement, strength, and mobility. Occupational therapy focuses on the skills needed for daily activities - fine motor coordination, sensory processing, self-care, and functional independence. Many children benefit from OT specifically for handwriting, sensory sensitivities, and daily routines.
