Therapy Services
Working closely with the Jordan’s Principle team in First Nations, our Occupational therapists, Physiotherapists and Speech Language therapists (from Manitoba Possible) provide therapy services to children in all 63 First Nation communities from birth to school entry and for home needs of school aged children.
The service is consultative and collaborative and the therapists work together with the Jordan’s Principle team in community to:
✓ help children reach their full potential and increase participation in the community.
✓ set priorities based on available resources to ensure the needs of the children and community are met.
✓ provide assessment, education, training, and recommendations based on evidence and best practices to help support communities and build capacity.
✓ aim for ongoing communication regarding children’s needs and progress. Formal reports and recommendations by the therapists will be provided to the case managers and families.
✓ take a family-centered approach.
