Health Care Professionals - Women and Children's Health System
Specialized Occupational Therapy services are provided in two outpatient paediatric programs at Trillium Health Centre.
Paediatric Outpatient Services (P.O.P.S)
The POPS program offers a multidisciplinary (Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Pathology and Psychology) assessment, treatment and placement coordination for both diagnosed and undiagnosed children. Specific types of children seen include those with general developmental delays, global developmental delays, children with syndromes, children with learning difficulties and children with PDD or Autism. Children must be between the ages of 2 and 5 years and require service from at least two disciplines at the time of the referral.
The role of the Occupational Therapist includes assessment and treatment of sensory processing skills, gross motor skills and fine motor skills. The Occupational Therapist works in conjunction with the child, family, other service providers and other POPS team members to optimize development in all areas.
Peel Infant Development
The Peel Infant Development program focuses on children from birth to three years of age who have a developmental delay or who risk delayed development for established, biological and/or psychosocial reasons.
Occupational Therapists, in collaboration with other service providers, provide an integrated transdisciplinary approach which aims to provide the highest level of opportunity for the optimal development of the child and family unit. This home-based intervention service is parent-led and responsive to parent strengths, competencies and priorities. Some of the many services provided are: direct early intervention in all dvelopmental domains (gross and fine motor, social and emotional, language and cognitive); play-based therapeutic intervention program plan; support to enhance parenting skills and parental competence; intervention to promote positive parent-infant interactions.
Referrals to the program are accepted from parents, physicians and community workers.
