Community
MHSP is a community of clients, family, professionals and support networks. We are better when we work together.
We connect you with our community partners in Exercise Physiology, Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Psychology and Early Intervention Key Workers and more. Connection gives purpose. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller.
Outcomes
We are committed to working with you and sharing all information with you as we work towards your goals, making progress and achieving the results and outcomes you seek.
From the initial phone call to our clinic, we will connect with you and support you. Together, we’ll determine the best therapy supports, therapy time frames and the frequency of sessions based on your individual needs and goals.
We can support you with 1:1 therapy, out-of-clinic visits, parent or family trainings, small group programs, or home-learning and coaching tools and resources. Goals and outcomes are achieved with regular "check-ins" on progress and adjusting therapy plans as needed to align with your goals.
