• Self care: Toileting, dressing, bathing, feeding self, eating, as well as following the home routine and completing simple chores
• Play skills: Playing with a variety of toys and different textures/materials(ex: taking turns and copying actions)
• Preschool readiness: Drawing, colouring, using scissors, building with blocks or puzzles
• Exploring environment: Moving around environment safely ( ex: participating on playground equipment)
• Sensory input: Tolerating different sounds, smells, tastes, or textures

Note: School based occupational therapy for school-aged children is also available, but referrals must come from the school and there is no self-referral process.
