A little about Allison approach and belief's

I have been working as a pediatric occupational therapist for 10 years in both private practice and not-for-profit settings in Canada and internationally. Growing up, I saw various therapists to work on areas I found challenging, and I still remember what it feels like to be the kid in the therapy room. Through all my early jobs, I always found myself gravitating towards working with kids, especially those with different support needs. This is where I found my place, helping kids like me who needed help building skills.

​

As people who live more comfortably in this sensory world, we need to stop expecting others to experience the world the way we do. I believe that society needs to evolve and become more open and understanding of neurodivergent people however at this time the world still isnt set up for everyone to thrive.

​

I am also aware of the unique challenges that some face and that is where I can be of service. I focus my energy on advocating, educating, empowering, and motivating families and communities to learn more and do better. Ultimately, I believe that you are exactly who you should be, and I also want to help you work on skills that are important to you or that you struggle with, so you can be the best version of yourself.

​

I have two young girls who I am currently on raising - that is really hard some days! This means that my time available for professional work is limited. That being said, if you are motivated, flexible, and see your parental role in therapy as primary in helping your child grow, please get in touch!
