Pediatric Occupational Therapy

At OuTcomes Therapy, occupational therapy goals are set with caregivers and therapists as a team. These goals are functional, and individual to each family’s current needs.

At OuTcomes Therapy, occupational therapy goals are set with caregivers and therapists as a team. These goals are functional, and individual to each family’s current needs. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, and meet with parents to review findings prior to the beginning of therapy sessions.

Based on research as well as our own clinical experience, our sessions are focused on self-esteem, socialization, and self-regulation (Cohn, Miller, Tickle-Degnen, 2000; Cohn, Kramer, Schub, & May-Benson, 2014; Schaaf, et al., 2010). We use relationship-based methods to ensure that your child feels supported, while being continually challenged to progress in goal-focused areas.

We believe strongly that parent involvement is the key to success in therapy. While therapists may require some one-on-one time to develop a strong relationship with your child, we encourage parents to be involved in the process. Research indicates that parents will be more successful in supporting children when they have a deep understanding of how sensory processing challenges impact function, as well as how sensory strategies can be used as supports within different environments and contexts (Hinojosa, 1990 ; Humphry, 2002). For this reason we recommend regular parent meetings, where parents and therapists can collaborate to support progress outside of therapy.

Therapy sessions are child-driven and fun, but subtly structured so that your child is challenged while always successful in completing each activity. The emphasis of these sessions is on developing automatic and appropriate responses, to increase success in daily activities and develop meaningful relationships (Greenspan, Wieder & Simons, 1998; Parham, et al., 2011). During each session, your occupational therapist serves as coach, educator, and role model so that you may participate actively and learn strategies for home, school, and the community.

Louise Burridge BScH; BScOT; MEd

Louise’s fun, creative, and warm personality sets the stage for an exciting and welcoming environment for children and families. She strives to make each therapy session individually tailored to the child’s needs and is overjoyed by the gains that children and families make each day.

Louise believes that a critical component to achieving success in occupational therapy is being solution-focused, strength-based, and creative. She enjoys getting to know each child and their families, she strives to maintain a positive and productive rapport with children and youth and she is highly flexible throughout her sessions. This flexibility has enabled her to quickly make adaptations, as needed, to facilitate learning, achievement, and growth for her clients.

With over 18 years experience in community hospitals, school-based practice, Wascana Rehabilitation Center and at the Ministry of Education, Louise possesses a variety of knowledge, skills, and abilities that she readily shares with her families. She has thoroughly enjoyed opportunities to work with infants, young children, teens, and young adults with various needs and abilities. In addition to her clinical work, Louise has participated on the provincial Autism, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, and Cognitive Disability Strategy Committees, she has worked collaboratively to develop a provincial approach to assistive technology, fostered opportunities to promote inclusive education, and worked tirelessly to support implementation of self-regulated learning in provincial schools.

Louise graduated with a Bachelors of Science Honours Degree with Distinction from Queen’s University, received her occupational therapy degree at the University of Toronto and graduated with her Masters of Educational Psychology at the University of Regina and is SIPT and SOS Certified.
