How We Can Help

At Hand and Heart Kid’s OT, we provide paediatric occupational therapy that is child-centred, playful, and grounded in connection. Whether your child is working on transitions, motor skills, or emotional regulation, we tailor therapy to support their unique strengths and needs. We provide services in-home and virtually in London, Ontario, as well as virtually across Ontario.

Led by Cora Nitert-Brown, Occupational Therapist, our approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and built on a foundation of trust and collaboration.

A child playing with colorful sensory putty is strengthening fine motor skills, improving hand strength, and exploring tactile sensations. Sensory putty activities promote creativity, focus, and emotional regulation, making it an excellent therapeutic tool in pediatric occupational therapy. This hands-on play helps children develop coordination and sensory processing in a fun and engaging way.

Sensory & Self-Regulation

  • Helping kids and families manage big emotions
  • Incorporating sensory-based strategies
  • Supporting meaningful participation in transitions and routines at home, school, and the community
  • Helping children develop interoception and body awareness
