Why Kids First?

~A family focused approach through therapeutic relationships~

quality

At Kids First, we constantly strive to go above and beyond for our clients. We believe in educating and empowering caregivers and children to achieve long-term success.

We use a bottom-up approach for treatment, focusing on developing any lagging or undeveloped skills impacting the family’s goals. By starting with undeveloped, underlying skills that may cause the presenting behaviour, we work to build a foundation for higher learning and long-term functional participation.

Our treatment approaches use evidence-based practice methods, with staff completing additional professional development yearly to remain current in our practice.

consistency

At Kids First, we are a team! We share philosophies and approaches, so no matter who your child works with, they will receive our high standard of treatment. When assessing and working with your child, our clinical approach uses a combination of developmental, sensory, and behavioural frameworks. By using a multidimensional framework, we can provide you with education and service that helps you to understand your child’s needs and challenges.

connection

The team at Kids First shares the same morals and values, and believes that relationships are the foundation for connection. We take time to understand your child in order to ensure a safe and positive therapeutic relationship develops. Progress in occupational performance areas occurs faster and lasts longer when we take time to connect.
