The Swift Advantage

We come to you

 

Serving all of the lower mainland Swift Health offers assessments and interventions at home and in the community (i.e. school, day care).

 

Distance Service Programme

 

Our distance service programme is for children who need access to an occupational therapist but have limited local services. If you know other children in your area also requiring occupational therapy services, Swift Health Services offers parents to share travel costs and each child receives an individual occupational therapy assessment and treatment session.

Parents can implement the occupational therapy recommendations provided by their occupational therapist, knowing that every 8 to 12 weeks you will receive another visit and a review of progress.

The distance service programme is also beneficial for schools in remote areas in BC where occupational therapy services are limited.

Contact us today to learn more about the distance service programme!

Assessments

Standardized Assessments

We offer comprehensive standardized occupational therapy assessment packages to meet all the needs of your child.

We offer:

  • School based assessment packages
  • Home based assessment packages

Which include:

  • Sensory Profile: the sensory profile provides a standard method for occupational therapists to measure a child’s sensory processing abilities and to profile the affects of sensory processing on functional performance in the daily life of a child.
  • Beery VMI: this is a 3-part assessment which screens a child’s motor coordination, visual motor integration and visual perception.
    Brigance Diagnostic Inventory of Early Development: a standardised assessment that measures diagnoses delays (i.e. standing, walking, stair climbing, running, jumping, kicking, catching, balance) and age equivalents of the development of children from birth to seven years of age.
  • McMaster Handwriting Assessment (2nd edition): this assessment evaluates the handwriting of school-aged children in kindergarten to grade 6. This assessment was designed to identify the specific areas of handwriting (i.e. postural control, behavioral, pencil grasp, pencil pressure, spacing, reversals) a child is having difficulty with.

Children can participate in several groups…

...to get each other motivated!

Arts and Craft Group

Arts and Crafts are a fun way to help your child build essential skills such as bilateral coordination. Crafts such as coloring, cutting and drawing will require your child to use both hands together by helping them build their bilateral coordination. This group will also focus on helping children develop their self-regulation, as arts and crafts typically involve drying time which will assist in teaching your child control and patience. Fine motor coordination will also be developed, as your child will be required to cut patterns, draw shapes and write. The Arts and Crafts Group will also develop your child’s social skills, as members of the group will have plenty of opportunities to work together to create masterpieces.
