Speech and occupational therapy for preschoolers
Supporting preschoolers as they prepare for their next big steps


Do you have a preschooler who…
- Struggles with speaking clearly, formulating sentences or being understood by others?
- Has difficulty with social interactions, playing cooperatively or taking turns?
- Avoids or finds it hard to complete self-care tasks like dressing, eating, or toileting?
- Becomes overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or other sensory experiences?
These challenges can impact your child’s confidence and ability to learn, but with the right support, they can develop the skills they need to feel capable, confident, and ready for school.
