Here is what our families have to say about us:
“Over
the years, Vancouver OT has become like a second home to our family, especially
for our son. He always looks forward to his sessions, and the support he has
always received from Amy and Katie both therapeutically and emotionally has
been invaluable in his development and well-being while navigating his life
with ASD.
Vancouver
OT's team is not only a great group of professionals, but most importantly they
are a team of wonderful, good human beings who truly care.” -JL
“Van
OT for Kids has been an invaluable addition to our family’s life. Our
daughter at age 3 was diagnosed on the spectrum and we had to find an
occupational therapist in a pinch to get her the early intervention she
needed. Cue Katie and Riba the dream team who have just gone above and
beyond with providing our family exceptional support and the utmost level of
care for our daughter.
Katie is
always there to help with suggestions, visual aids and coping strategies
whenever a challenge occurs. Riba is efficient in making sure we always
have an appointment time for our daughter and that we don’t miss any handouts
or worksheets from Katie.
Fast
forward to present day where our daughter is a high functioning, confident and
happy child. She is always so excited to go to each session and always
comes out with a new skill in tow.
Van
OT for Kids have been an indispensable addition for our daughter and we cannot
imagine our life without Van OT for Kids. Thank you Katie and Riba!”

"My 8 year son’s pediatrician recommended Occupational
Therapy. We were very fortunate to get an appointment with Vancouver OT for
Kids. We worked with Allen who is such a wonderful OT. He built an instant
connection with my son and provided effective strategies for focus and
self-regulation. My son always looks forward to the appointment with
excitement. Riba, the office manager made us feel welcomed and supported from
the day one. I can't say enough about our great experience with them.
Their facility is thoughtfully designed for kids and the
full team strives to provide the best experience for the kids and
parents. Thank you!" -KN
“We have
been attending Vancouver OT for Kids for over two years and I can definitely
attest that I am impressed by to the staffs' skills, knowledge and dedication
to my child.
When I
reached out inquiring about their services, Riba was able to go over their
practice with patience, knowledge and compassion. During my early visits, I was
overwhelmed and in a daze. Amy, our OT, was able to patiently guide my family
on how to navigate my child's specific need to self regulate.
Amy is
constantly reviewing the newest Occupational therapy findings. In my case, she
is able to consistently notice and adapt with my child whenever there's any
changes presented by my child. Armed with this knowledge, my child's other
support staff were able to gain great strides by adhering to Amy's
recommendations.
I am so
grateful to Vancouver OT for Kids for their continued support of my child.” –

“My son is 5yrs old, non verbal and on the spectrum. I came to
Vancouver Occupational Therapy for Kids for guidance to help understand my
son’s sensory seeking needs. We see Katie, who is very knowledgeable in her
field and takes the time to get to know my son. She has helped our family
through all our questions and concerns. I’m very pleased with the progress we
have made so far and I love seeing the results after each session as my son is
more content and regulated.
Everyone is so kind and helpful and we are really grateful to have
Vancouver OT on our team! Thank you for everything so far and we are excited to
continue to learn and grow with your support on this journey.” - TF
“Our child has
attended Vancouver OT for Kids for several years now and we really appreciate
that the treatment plan has been expertly adjusted to suit his needs as he has
grown. Speaking in terms of both gross and fine motor skills, they've managed
to meet him where he was at, every time, while making the process both engaging
and fun.
Finding OT services in Vancouver can be a daunting task, but
they make the process approachable and the therapists at Vancouver OT for Kids
have so much expertise. Thank you Allen!” - EM
