The Sensory Gym is a team of experienced paediatric occupational therapists that strive to provide the highest quality of service to children and families. In addition to the individual weekly mentoring sessions offered by our clinical directors to each staff member, the team also receives ongoing mentoring from international leaders in the field through on-site trainings and Zoom sessions. Our therapists treat from developmental, sensory integration, and relationship-based models of intervention.
