Occupational therapy supports anyone who has difficulty participating in an “occupation”. This does not mean “going to work,” but refers to any activity a person chooses to do. It might include daily activities that people need to do for self-care like dressing, eating, or going to the bathroom. It can also include activities related to productivity, such as completing schoolwork, and leisure activities, like personal hobbies, or playing sports.

We are grateful for the opportunity to provide practicum experience for UBC Master of Occupational Therapy students. We have done this for several years, enhancing our programs and student learning.
These UBC students support our Eary RISErs program and our Social Communication Group programs bringing their energy and skills in service of our learners. They also identify learners from these programs who may benefit from assessments with them.
They also can support instructors and learners in one-to-one sessions with observations and recommendations for adaptations and modifications that improve engagement and promote self-regulation.
OT assessments are offered on a sliding scale to make them accessible to all families. Fees start at $600; however, for families with a verified annual household income below $120,000, fees are reduced to $60.
