This workshop may be covered as an occupational therapy service under your extended health insurance plan. Please check with your insurance provider for details.
Please note: This workshop is designed to provide caregivers with an introduction to sensory processing, information on how it can impact daily activities and behaviour in children, as well as a general overview of some support strategies to address sensory processing challenges. As health professionals regulated by the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario, we cannot answer questions about a specific child without completing a full sensory motor assessment.

Ali is a registered Occupational Therapist who began her career as a teacher, with a B.Ed. from McGill University. Her experience working in the education system ignited her passion to better support children, and led her to earn her Master’s of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Toronto. Ali strives to help children understand and feel more competent and confident about their abilities, and will focus on functional and occupational based goals using a neurodiversity affirming approach. Ali’s background in teaching provides her with key insight to both the in-school and at-home needs of children, and she has experience with direct and consultative therapy related to school, play, and self-care. Ali’s training includes topics related to movement and coordination (CO-OP), sensory processing, handwriting, regulation (Autism Level up, Zones of regulation, Kelly Mahler’s interoception curriculum), and feeding. She also works with the University of Toronto’s Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy program as a preceptor and facilitator, enabling her to maintain an evidence-based mode of practice.
