Often, there's a feeling underneath it that hasn't found its words yet. Tuning in to Kids® is an evidence-based program that helps you understand what's going on for your child emotionally, so you can respond with more confidence and less guesswork.

Facilitated by two of our OTs, Hannah and Jasmine, who bring a neuro-affirming lens to every session.

💲 $702 individuals / $822 couples

Behind the scenes at Kids Matters with COPM goal reviews 🍫🌻🔋

Our therapists have been busy chatting with families and setting meaningful goals using the COPM (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure), and each clinic has found its own fun way to celebrate the milestones along the way.

🍫 Highgate Hill keeps it sweet and simple with a Malteser dispenser. One goal review, one Malteser, one very happy team.

🌻 Aspley is growing a garden one flower sticker at a time. Every COPM completed earns a spot in the "COPM Comp" jar, and it's blooming beautifully.

🔋 Yeerongpilly is powering up with the COPM/Goal Battery. Every five clients seen means a new line gets decorated, and the whole team does a happy dance when it happens.

Different clinics, same goal: making sure therapy stays focused on what matters most to your child and your family.

Ever wondered what our online parenting programs actually look like? 🤔💻

We know jumping into a new program can feel like a bit of an unknown, so we wanted to show you exactly how easy it is to join a Tuning in to Kids® session.

Ahead of each session, you'll receive an email with your session link and any resources or handouts you'll need. When it's time, you simply click the link and you're in! From there, Hannah and Jasmine will guide you through the content and activities together, at a pace that works for you.

Having two facilitators on hand also means there's always someone to work through questions or concerns with you as they come up!

And when you break it down by contact hours, it's a genuinely affordable way to build your emotion coaching toolkit from the comfort of home. 🏡💛
