Physiotherapy
Pediatric physiotherapy is a specialized service tailored to children and adolescents. Our experienced pediatric physiotherapists provide assessments and treatments that are child-friendly and developmentally appropriate. Whether your child is dealing with developmental delays, musculoskeletal issues, or injuries, our pediatric physiotherapy services aim to improve their physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. We create fun and engaging therapy sessions to ensure that children feel comfortable and motivated to reach their milestones and achieve their physical goals.

Pediatric Massage
Pediatric massage is a gentle and therapeutic approach to promoting relaxation and well-being in children. Our experienced massage therapists use specialized techniques that are appropriate for children to help them relax, reduce stress, and improve their overall comfort. Pediatric massage can be beneficial for children dealing with anxiety, sensory processing issues, or physical discomfort. It creates a calming and nurturing environment where children can experience the benefits of touch in a safe and enjoyable way.

Caregiver Massage
Caregiver massage for children is a service that focuses on providing relaxation and stress relief for parents or caregivers of children with special needs or complex medical conditions. Caring for a child with unique needs can be demanding, and caregiver massage offers a rejuvenating experience for parents or caregivers to unwind, reduce stress, and restore their own well-being. It acknowledges the importance of self-care for caregivers who provide dedicated support to children with special requirements.

Occupational Therapy
Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills they need for daily activities and tasks. Our experienced pediatric occupational therapists work with children who may have challenges related to fine motor skills, sensory processing, attention, and self-care. Through a child-centered and play-based approach, we provide interventions that support children in reaching their developmental milestones and participating in everyday activities effectively.

Speech Language Pathology
Pediatric speech language pathology is a specialized service designed to help children with communication and speech difficulties. Our experienced pediatric speech therapists work with children who may have speech delays, articulation issues, language disorders, or difficulties with fluency. We offer a range of assessments and interventions to support children in developing their communication skills, enhancing their ability to express themselves, and improving their overall communication abilities.

It is an exoskeleton device that helps children with limited mobility to experience walking and movement. The Trexo Robot offers a unique and innovative approach to pediatric rehabilitation by providing a safe and supportive means of mobility.

Reviews
We’ve had such an amazing experience with this clinic. My daughter has been coming here since she was a toddler and now she is almost 9! We mainly see physiotherapy,her therapist Dipika has been amazing! She is so knowledgeable in pediatric therapy,everytime we go there she has engaging tailored excercises that feels play based rather than training. We absolutely look forward to our appointments. Thank you to the staff at CCD,everyone we come into contact from the front staff to other providers are so lovely.

CCD has been a lovely experience with our 20 month old son for physical therapy. Dipika our PT, has been great to work with on a weekly basis. She is able to provide extensive knowledge and experience with every session and makes our son very comfortable when doing the exercises meanwhile involving play so that he is not overexerted. The clinic has such a variety of equipment, tools & toys to enable us to see progress each week. We would highly recommend CCD!

My son has been going here for a little over a year and it’s the best. Randi the SLP is great and understands my son so well. Everyone who works here is so friendly and caring. So happy I found Canadian Centre for Development.

Game changer! We have been going several times per week for the past few months and the difference it has made for my daughter is astounding. The entire staff there is absolutely wonderful, and have helped her make so much progress in many different areas. SMILE has given my daughter so much independence and confidence, and she now gets so excited when she sees the door to the clinic. She has RAN towards it a few times in her walker. If that isn't a huge testament to the staff and program, I don't know what is! Julie (one of the owners) has created the perfect space to help our children thrive, and she has been so great with communicating with our family every step of the way. Therapy can be tough for kiddos, and the whole team has worked so hard to make sure our sessions are both fun and beneficial for her development. She's made so many big and mini milestones since starting at SMILE, and it's worth every penny. And if you need any more convincing... they now offer both paediatric AND parent massage therapy right in the clinic (parent massages can be done while your kiddo is in their own sessions). What could be better than getting yourself a massage to unwind (and get a mini break!) while you know kiddo is in great hands with the SMILE therapists?

We were unsure of what to expect of the three week intensive program when we booked it, but we knew we wanted to try anything to help our baby girl improve her mobility. She suffered strokes at birth and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. The intensive therapy was more than we could ever expect. Our 10 month old daughter was sitting for 5 seconds (which we were so happy about) and after a week of therapy she was sitting for over two minutes. The therapists and assistants were incredibly kind and worked so hard to push her limits and make the experience enjoyable for her. I would highly recommend going to Canadian Centre for Development for an intensive program if your child is delayed or has mobility issues. They were able to use different techniques to propel my daughter’s mobility development and help set a plan for home use. We are so happy we decided to try this therapy program and we plan to book more.
