Fernanda Da Silva

Registered Occupational Therapist

Hi there! I'm Fernanda, and I am a Registered Occupational Therapist with a passion for pediatrics. My mission is to help kids participate in meaningful activities while valuing integrity, family-centered care, and compassion. If you are looking for support as a parent or need ongoing therapy for your child, you're in the right place!

​

I provide occupational therapy assessment and intervention for babies, kids, and teens in Ontario, practicing in The Greater Toronto area. I also offer parent consultation sessions to share strategies on supporting your child with a variety of needs. I am certified in the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) approach to feeding, and practice as a PLAY Project Consultant.
