Occupational Therapy for ADHD Treatment

Occupational Therapy for ADHD Treatment

Supporting Families and Children with ADHD

As occupational therapists, we understand the challenges parents face when supporting a child with ADHD. With the right approach, difficulties like maintaining focus, managing emotions, and handling behaviors can be turned into opportunities of growth and bring positive change to both the child and the family..

At Collaborative Approach Therapy Services, our sessions focus on providing direct 1:1 support to the child. While parents are included, the primary focus is addressing the child’s unique needs and development.

Working closely with both children and families we’ll develop individualized treatment plans that address the specific issues caused by ADHD.

✓  Evidence Based strategies to support focus and follow through

✓  Develop techniques to manage emotions and behaviours

✓  Build social skills, self-esteem, and emotional balance

✓  Our OT services are available at your home or in our clinic

✓  Equip parents with tools to support child development

Understanding ADHD in Children

ADHD or Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, can impact various components of a child’s development. It can affect everything from their ability to concentrate on daily tasks to how they manage emotions in social situations.

Children with ADHD will often struggle with impulsivity, hyperactivity, and maintaining attention, which can hinder academic success, social relationships, and even self-esteem. At Collaborative Approach Therapy Services, we aim to create a nurturing and supportive environment to help children get past these challenges and more.

Let’s Collaborate!

Building Executive Functions

We build personalized strategies to enhance executive functioning skills like organization, self-regulation, task initiation, and time management for homework, chores, and more.

Supporting Positive Behaviours

We support children with ADHD in overcoming daily hurdles by reinforcing positive behaviour, teaching impulse control, and helping them cope with their emotions.
