Richmond Hill, Canada Catch a balloon (Pediatric Occupational therapy clinic) Full time

Catch a Balloon clinic is a private pediatric occupational therapy clinic. In other words, we provide diverse types of occupational therapy services to children from 6 months to 12 years.

Our core value is to provide a quality service based on client-centerdness. Client stories are as unique as fingerprints, but when it comes to designing a treatment protocol, there might be a need for a simple but efficient classification. To achieve this, we focus on the child’s main roles in life in order to help and ensure independence and happiness in the roles that he/she is supposed to fulfill in life. The responsibility of occupational therapists is to analyze the skills and abilities of children to fulfill the desired roles that may be impaired or damaged due to disorders, impairments, etc.

Catch a Balloon Day Program is a specialized initiative meticulously crafted to offer occupational therapy services to children aged 5 to 12. This program serves as a vital bridge between clinical therapy and the real world. Our day program is laser-focused on enriching fine motor skills, sensory integration, fostering social interactions, and fostering holistic motor development in an enjoyable and nurturing environment, preparing children to thrive in classroom settings.
