Understanding EarlySupport for Families
Early support nurtures children who learn, communicate, or develop differently by building on their strengths and abilities. Using research-based strategies and individualised support, it fosters growth in a supportive and respectful way.
A family-centred approach ensures we work closely with parents and caregivers, providing practical strategies to support their child’s development in everyday life.
Early support lays the foundation for lifelong learning, resilience, and well-being.

They’re amazing to deal with & patient with all our inquiries. Our OT Don is awesome, my son loves him and when I watch him during the sessions and can’t fault him.
My Favourite
My son has been seeing Lori for the last four years, and we haven’t looked back to any other therapist since. Lori is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Her welcoming, child-focused approach makes every session engaging and meaningful.
Her passion, educational background, skills, and experience make her truly unique in this profession. Lori’s insights about my son have always been accurate and helpful — not only in identifying challenges but also in finding effective ways to address them. My son loves his sessions with Lori and eagerly shares stories with her that he usually reserves only for me. She has a rare ability to build genuine trust and maintain it with the children she works with. We feel truly blessed and grateful to have Lori in our lives.
Prabh has been supporting my son as an AHA for the past few months, and she’s equally wonderful. Warm, friendly, and patient, she knows how to build positive relationships and help children learn and grow through play. Prabh works thoughtfully and strategically to help kids achieve their goals while keeping sessions fun and enjoyable. Any child would be lucky to have her on their care team.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication Lori has shown our son in the last 3 months. Her child led, attachment focused and compassionate approach has made an enormous difference in his development.
From the very beginning, Lori took the time to truly understand his needs, celebrate his strengths, and support him through every step of his progress, big or small. Lori’s patience, expertise, and ability to connect with our little one have helped him achieve milestones we were once worried he would struggle with.
Highly recommend for those needing early intervention support!
