Ellen Yack and Associates Paediatric Therapy Services

OT, SLP, and psychotherapy services for children and adults with sensory, motor, developmental, neur

Ellen Yack and Associates was established in 1985 to fill the gap in the provision of occupational therapy services to children and their families living in Toronto and the surrounding area. At that time, there were extensive waiting lists for occupational therapy assessment and treatment at hospital and community based programs. Many of these programs also had restrictive admission criteria. Some

programs only accepted children within certain age ranges or with specific diagnoses. Ellen, who at the time was a member of various professional associations and committees, was aware that many children did not have access to necessary occupational therapy services. She was encouraged to start her private practice to provide parents with another option. This option was particularly important for children with autism spectrum disorders who were not eligible to receive occupational therapy treatment at most facilities. Unfortunately, extensive waiting lists continue to exist today. Many outpatient occupational therapy programs have been reduced and many facilities continue to have restrictive admission criteria. As the demand for service continued, Ellen brought in other occupational therapists to work in the practice. Associates were chosen who could bring passion and a variety of expertise to meet the needs of a growing client base. Recently, speech and language pathology services have been made available to further expand options and allow for comprehensive care.We are committed to provide the highest quality client centered care. We customize individualized intervention plans derived from a range of proven treatment approaches. We strive to be a centre of excellence by pursuing continuing education and keeping current with research. We aim to maximize the fullest potential of our clients and to empower families.

Ellen Yack and Associates is thrilled to welcome internationally renowned trauma and addiction psychotherapist Jan Winhall and esteemed occupational therapist Ellen Yack for an engaging workshop designed for professionals working with children.

When a child’s nervous system perceives threat, even in the absence of actual danger, their ability to engage with the world is compromised. They may be unable to engage in therapy and work on skill development until a sense of safety is established.

Learn how polyvagal theory can help foster safety, support regulation, and enhance therapeutic engagement for your clients.
