Byron
1255 Commissioners Rd. W
Our Byron clinic is outfitted with sensory / motor equipment (both stimulating or calming), art materials, play therapy resources, as well as education supplies for assessing school skills such as printing. Sessions are one-on-one, with the Occupational Therapist or Board Certified Behaviour Analyst able to customize the environment to meet the needs of each child. For example, if a child benefits from a calming environment, lights can be dimmed, the bubble tube engaged, compression/weighted vest offered, calming music played, and large bean bag snuggled into. For children requiring stimulation and movement, the ball pit can be offered, the swing presented (we have both a platform or a tube swing), a balance board, steps and slide provided, spinning seat ready for action, and mats will be waiting and ready for play (among other equipment we have to offer).
Serving ages 0-12 years (in-clinic).
Please email us if your child is older than 12 years and requires services.

Love Letter to London
When I was a little girl, I spent a great deal of time at the hospital being assessed and treated for leukemia. Despite all of the needles, surgeries, hair loss, and pain, what I remember MOST is the incredible care of the staff and the welcoming atmosphere set up in those hospital waiting rooms and treatment units.
Children need to be children, especially in the midst of their healing. They need special spaces created for their primary occupation - play, laughter, and growth.
London Sensory Therapy is my love letter of gratitude to all those individuals who made my medical visits - 'fun', and who ultimately, saved my life.
To my beautiful London (and surrounding area) community, I whole heartedly welcome you to this special space I have created for your child to grow, heal, and most importantly be their beautiful selves.
