Our Approach

At Power for All we are a charity because we wanted to exist as an organization that helps to relieve conditions associated with living with a disability. We want to give back to the communities we serve our profits, our resources, our work and efforts. We identify ourselves as a social enterprise with the capacity to run a financially responsible business while at the same time ensuring that it is always giving back to our community. Each program has spots available for families of children who may not have the financial means to afford therapy. We also offer other resources to our families to help meet their basic needs.
All of us at PFA donate our time, our work and efforts to fundraise, to liaise and partner with communities. We take pride in offering evidence based, holistic services to clients from a variety of abilities and financial backgrounds.

PFA believes that it takes a village to bring out the best in each child, youth and family. Our practice does its work by bringing communities together. We strive to always create partnerships with local organizations, school boards, health care practitioners, Park and Rec boards, local universities to name a few. These partnerships allow us to be effective in the offering of services to families who need it!

We offer mobile clinics and work with local partners so our locations are accessible, central and close to nature. Community partners let us use their spaces to set up our clinics.

As we offer care to our families, we rely on a network of community health care practitioners to address the whole child or youth. Our OTs work with families and whenever appropriate liaise with these community partners to further investigate or address areas of need that our clients may face.

At PFA we believe in risky play done in nature. The earth, the land are not objects or resources to be exploited but they are beings that have lived with and amongst us for milenia. As we learn about relationships of reciprocity with the land, the earth and all living beings. This reciprocity and gratitude towards the land, teaches us that we can only take what we need, we. need to avoid wasting resources, and we need to treat all living beings with respect, etc.

Our programs help children and families develop a relationship with the land and all its beings, this relationship brings forth stewardship, curiosity, and compassionate care for all living beings. Nature also brings forth feelings of physical, mental and social wellness. We encourage adventure, exploration, autonomy, so each client can delight in earth’s beauty and abundance.

We believe that each child, youth or family is an expert and we partner with them to learn about their capabilities and needs. As therapists we are just facilitators of personal and inner exploration so each child and youth can learn to show up as their authentic selves in the world. Our programs use interventions that help each client dive deeper into who they are and what they need. Instead of using compliance based approaches, we believe in teaching each client to tune into their sense of interoception and their sense of autonomy. We use neurodiversity affirming approaches and interventions. The activities and programs come from each of our client’s interests as we follow their lead. This is why programs are mobile and take place in a variety of locations, not just the home or a clinic setting but it can be a boat, a forest, a kitchen, etc.
Our work begins with establishing trust, safety and connection with each child/youth and family we work with. This is the foundation to all the work we do. We know that in order for each child or youth to learn, to benefit from therapy, they need to feel safe, to regulate, only then, will they relate and reflect and learn. This whole process takes time. We take as long as it takes to gain the trust from each child/youth and family. The structure of our sessions is shaped by each client and we use a lot of self-reflection to see what can work and what can be better for each child/youth. Play is a fun way for children/youth and therapists to connect, we will use this to regulate so each child/youth can then relate and then reflect and learn.

At PFA, we carefully select the members of our team and our community partners. Our programs strive to weave the therapeutic benefits of play, adventure and nature based programming with a great understanding of child and brain development and the neurobiology of learning. The results are sensory enhanced motor experiences that support each child and youth in their growth and healing. Each of our sessions also includes components of reflex integration for each child and for the parents.

All our cohorts not only include occupational therapy sessions for the children and youth but they also include sessions for parents to be educated and coached in the interventions we are implementing in our sessions. Parents come together as a community, share their experiences and learn from each other. We do this because we know that as therapists, we only come for a section of the journey through life but parents and guardians will be the most consistent advocates and companions in each child and youth’s life.
