The Sensory Solutions Paediatric Therapy team supports and promotes the development of children aged 0-18 years. The overall aim for each child is to reach his/her optimum level of independence and skills in daily tasks. This occurs in partnership with the child’s family or teacher in their home, school and community.

Zones Regulation
The Zones of Regulation, developed by occupational therapist, Leah Kuypers, is a systematic, cognitive behaviour approach used to teach self-regulation by categorizing all the different ways we feel and states of alertness we experience into four concrete zones. The Zones of Regulation curriculum provides strategies to teach students (aged 8 to 12 years old) to become more aware of, and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, managing their sensory needs, and improving the ability to problem solve conflicts.
