Collaborative Approach Therapy Services- Cambridge

Trying to talk about a tough topic with your kiddo? Books are a great way to spark the conversation and show practical and motivating examples of the concepts or teachings you are trying to chat about. This can also provide the safe neutral space your child may be needing to ask questions and have a more open and honest discussion about what may be going on.

This one is huge! Allowing for play and movement during sessions is simply one of the biggest ways to improve motivation and learning in our OT sessions.

That fear can get strong. Don’t let it stop you from still trying, trying, and trying again.

These words echo the transformation we witness at camp - not just for our campers, but for families too. 💖

Knowing your child is in a supportive, nurturing environment can alleviate worries and empower you as a parent.

Together, let's continue this journey of growth, learning, and newfound confidence! Here's to making every day a little brighter for our campers and their families!



If you want to join us this summer in our supportive and nurturing environment we would love to see if CATS camp is the right fit for your child. Reach out at [email protected]

"I don't want it to be the last day, I like it here." 🥺

These words capture the magic of our camp perfectly! Seeing our campers embrace growth, forge new friendships, and discover their inner resilience is what it's all about.

Registration is still open, if you feel like one of our Summer camps would be right for your kiddo, reach out, [email protected]

Please welcome our new OT student, with us for May and June: Marissa Talsma

You got this.

CATS Summer Camps are a space where fun and learning come together for an Epic week!

Don’t miss out! Registration is open!

Parents often ask us if we have recommendations for what after school activities they should sign their kids up for. The truth is, any activity offers a new challenge, something to look forward to, and a chance to learn and connect with peers. However, something we typically like to recommend for our sensory seekers is skating! Skating provides the body with muscle work for the proprioceptive sense, and offers a fantastic vestibular challenge. Not to mention the great potential for gross motor skill development!

As occupational therapists, we empower parents and children to grow, face challenges, and feel confident with who they are. We offer support to help you understand anxiety and learn how to tame it. Oftentimes, we like to take a play-based approach that helps children feel more open and at ease when sharing their thoughts and problem solving strategies to move forward.
Any questions? Drop them in the comments below or give us a call!

We know in Ontario it's a snowy start to the spring season... However, we challenge you to still go out and explore with your kiddos! Connect through the wonders that come about this time of year. A new little sprout, a wriggly worm peeking out to see the rain, or a stream of melted snow making its way down to the road.
Have you seen any spring season wonders so far??

Happy International Women's Day! How will you honour the women in your life today? (We also give you all the permission to treat yourself too!!!😍)

We can often get intimidated by what we perceive as a long road ahead. Make a list of steps. Then go back, and break them down some more. You'll find a small place to start, and 1 by 1 will work your way up to be closer to your goal.
As always, don't forget to ask for help along the way when you need it - you are not alone!

Fun can be messy at CATS Camp, and we LOVE it that way!

From paint splatters to slime, every mess tells a story of creativity, exploration, and enjoyment.
