About this service
Parenting can feel overwhelming when you are unsure how to best support your child’s needs at home, at school, or in daily routines. Our Parent Consultation services offer one-on-one meetings with experienced pediatric professionals who understand your child’s unique developmental, emotional, and sensory profile.
A Parent Consultation is a 45 or 60 minute meeting with an occupational therapist to discuss your child’s progress, challenges, and next steps. It is a designated time and space for you to ask your honest questions, without your child present. Consultations are available in-clinic, virtually, or as an on-site home or school visit when more context is helpful.
You will leave with personalized recommendations for your child’s routines at home, daycare, or school, and referrals for further supports if needed.
When to book a parent consultation
- Feeling unsure about your child’s developmental milestones or behaviours
- Seeking strategies for routines such as mealtime, bedtime, or transitions
- Wanting guidance on school participation, attention, or sensory regulation
- Navigating feedback from teachers or therapists and wanting a clearer plan
- Looking for a second opinion or next steps after an assessment
Sessions are for parents and caregivers (up to two adults), led by a pediatric occupational therapist, in-clinic, virtual, or on-site. Serving families across Richmond Hill and York Region.
