If you are looking to have an assessment done on your child due to ongoing behaviour concerns. We recommend working with Little Oaks as they specialize in offering this service for children. They are not local to Sherwood Park however. Nexus is another option in Sherwood Park, however, has a long waiting list.
Offering assessments, occupational therapy, speech and language support, behavioural consultations and sand tray therapy, family support coaches, registered dieticians and psychology.
If your child has a behaviour diagnosis and/or significant speech concerns, they can sometimes get approved for PUF (Program Unit Funding) which allows for an aide to come into our room and work with your child on goals that are set to help them with any challenges they are facing. Community Options comes into our program at the request of parents each Spring to do free assessments while the children are in our care. If they are eligible, they can access funding in the fall.
Like Community Options, Seden Centre can also provide an in class aide to support your child if they are diagnosed with speech concerns. Their assessments are on site at their location and there is a fee.
My passion is to help parents become the secure, attuned attachment figures they desire to be and that their children need. We know that this creates calm and joy in the home and lays the foundation for optimal child development and healthy functioning across various domains of life.
I primarily work with parents whose children are between the ages of 0-11 and are dealing with various presenting concerns. I also work with parents who are pregnant or in the process of adoption and looking to be proactive in increasing their bonding and secure attachment.
