Pediatric Occupational Therapy


At Little Roots Pediatric Therapy, our pediatric occupational therapy services help children develop the skills they need to participate confidently in daily life. Using a play-based, child-centred, and evidence-informed approach, we focus on promoting independence and supporting each child’s unique strengths and goals.


Key Focus Areas

  • Gross and fine motor skills
  • Self-care and independence
  • Sensory processing and regulation
  • Emotional regulation
  • School and community participation
  • Sleep and routines
  • Feeding and picky eating challenges

Our Approach


Every child begins with a thorough consultation and assessment, leading to an individualized therapy plan tailored to their needs. Plans can be carried out through home-based visits, virtual sessions, or group programs:  always in collaboration with families to support meaningful, sustainable progress.

Virtual Therapy

Virtual pediatric occupational therapy offers families a flexible, accessible way to support their child’s development from home. Sessions are delivered through secure video platforms and designed to feel interactive and engaging for children of all ages.


Parents receive real-time coaching, practical strategies, and clear guidance so they can confidently support their child between sessions. Virtual therapy is especially helpful for families with busy schedules, limited transportation, or living outside central Halifax.


Whether working on fine motor skills, sensory regulation, daily routines, or attention and coordination, our online sessions provide the same level of care, support, and professionalism as in-person visits.

We embrace and celebrate diversity — including neurodiversity, cultural diversity, and the LGBTQ+ community — and provide family-centred, affirming care where every child and family feels valued, supported, and free to be their authentic selves.
