About OT North
Our Founder

Occupational therapy services for adults can include comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home and other environments (e.g., community, workplace, school), recommendations for adaptive equipment and training in its use, and guidance and education for family members and caregivers; incapability assessments for Guardianship; cognitive assessments, functional assessments; sensory interventions for mental health and cognitive injuries including anxiety and PTSD, and cost of future care evaluations, ergonomic and workplace assessments.
Where We Work
All therapists employed with Occupational Therapy Consulting work out of our Whitehorse office. At this location there are two OT sensory and treatment gyms, a feeding room, and an assessment room. Therapists are can travel to the Yukon communities to provide in person 1:1 therapy service.
Other work locations can include client’s home, school, and other community locations. (Please note, working within the school setting requires permission and is only on a case-by-case basis.)
All therapists are registered or soon to be registered with a Canadian College
