Private OT Contract in Airdrie

Lovely family in Airdrie is looking for an OT to join their private team, looking at about 2-3 hours per month of direct service time with a sweet 4 year old boy (funding through FSCD/Specialized Services).  This adorable boy is diagnosed with autism and even though he is doing well with support, the family needs an OT who has knowledge and understanding of a sensory diet and ways to add or amend that diet to keep him regulated.  If this is something you would be interested in (or you know of someone who is), please contact: Susan.Dunstan@pc.gc.ca
