Daycares
Therapy in Daycares Across Halifax and Dartmouth
Allied Therapy offers select Speech-Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Behaviour Therapy, feeding services, AAC support, and related supports for clients who benefit from receiving therapy in their own environment.
Daycare-based support lets therapists work with children in the routines and activities that make up their day, such as play, transitions, mealtimes, communication and participation with peers.
With family consent, we can collaborate with daycare staff on practical strategies that fit the child’s goals and daily environment.
Depending on the service, location, therapist availability and centre’s agreement, support may include therapy, consultation or family information sessions. Brief screening opportunities may also be available through participating centres; screening is not a diagnosis and does not commit families to therapy.
Our goal is to make support easier to access and useful in the places children learn, play and spend time with others.
About this location:
Sometimes the most helpful place for therapy is where everyday life happens.
When it’s appropriate for the service, your child’s goals, location and therapist availability, Allied Therapy may provide support in a daycare and collaborate with the daycare team. Seeing your child in their usual environment can help us understand the routines, relationships and situations that matter to your family. With your consent, we can work with the people who support your child during the day.
We partner with daycares across Halifax and Dartmouth. You don’t need to know whether daycare-based support is the right fit before contacting us. Tell us what’s happening and what you’d like to make easier. We’ll help you explore the most appropriate service and setting.
When daycare-based support is a good fit, it can make therapy easier to access leaving more of your afternoons and evenings for family time.
Who It's For:
Families, students, clients or community members connected with a participating Allied Therapy partner.
