Occupational Therapy for Everyday Life
When everyday activities are harder than they should be, occupational therapy can help.
I’m Lindsay Hall, a registered occupational therapist with more than 20 years of experience working with children, teens and adults. My approach is practical and individualized — understanding what’s getting in the way and finding strategies that work in everyday life.
How Occupational Therapy Can Help
Children & Teens
Occupational therapy can help children and teens build the skills they need for everyday life, learning and independence. Support may include:

Practical strategies are tailored to each child and family, with support for home and school when needed.

Practical strategies are tailored to the individual and focused on making everyday life more manageable.

Payment and Insurance Coverage
Private occupational therapy services are paid directly by the client. Many extended health benefit plans provide coverage for occupational therapy; however, coverage varies by plan. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm your individual coverage.
Payment is due at the time of service. Receipts are provided and can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Occupational therapy expenses may also be eligible as a medical expense for income tax purposes.
Payment can be made by cash, cheque or e-transfer. I do not direct bill insurance providers.
