our ontario services
Recognizing the need for feeding services across the country, we have recently expanded our services to Eastern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)! Our team is comprised of a Group of professionals with expert knowledge and experience supporting a variety of feeding challenges and are supervised by a Behaviour Analyst who is registered with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO). Our team will work with your family to provide a service that is tailored to your child's needs and abilities. We offer in-person, home-based therapy to families living in Eastern Ontario or the Greater Toronto Area.
We welcome families from out of town or out of province to travel to our clinic for services. For an additional travel fee, we also travel to families’ homes throughout Ontario and Canada.
