OT4kids

Help your child move,
learn & grow through play

Better understand how to support and advocate for your child while 
preserving their spark through 1:1 virtual parent consultations,
parent group programs, and parent workshops.

Do you ever worry that your child has to work harder to do
things that come naturally to other kids?

It’s harder for them to climb play
structures or trees, ride a bike, play
sports, draw or write.

They can’t keep up with school
work because they’re so
distracted or constantly moving.

They’re anxious, meltdown for
‘small’ things or they struggle to
make friends.

It’s not your fault.
It’s not your child’s fault either.
This is how their brain is wired.

(And yes, we can help and support them!)

Your child is working so hard to get through their day and meet
everyone’s expectations. It’s incredibly hard to sustain that level of effort
all day so they get exhausted, anxious, avoidant, or just can’t hold it
together anymore.

As a parent, it’s hard to see your child struggle day-to-day. You worry
they’re not developing the skills they need to move, learn, and grow up
into a happy, confident kid…but you’re not sure how to help them reach
their full potential.

As a parent of a child with a similar story, I understand your worries and
deep desire to do absolutely anything to help them.

That’s why OT4KIDS exists – to support kids like yours and mine.

Where play meets potential

Here’s How We Help

Strong &
Coordinated

Get to the root cause of your child’s coordination difficulties. Develop their underlying sensory and motor skills so they can jump, climb, swim, swing and cycle for fun safely.

Calm &
Confident

Develop your child’s body and spatial awareness, core and shoulder stability, and motor planning so they can sit, use cutlery, draw and learn with confidence and ease.

Happy &
Comfortable

Uncover your child’s unique sensory makeup, and learn how to teach them to understand their bodies, sensory preferences, and how to advocate for themselves for life.

You want your child to feel good,
be happy, and enjoy life

The right support that addresses your child’s sensory,
physical and emotional needs, while supporting you as
parents too, makes all the difference.

Start Here: The Four Part Playful
Series

Finally understand the root cause of your child’s coordination, concentration, and emotional regulation challenges, and how to help them. This 4-part series will show you how.

If any of these sound familiar you’re
in the right place...

“My child is behind with their
motor skills. It’s difficult for them
to play on the playground or do
sports compared to their
siblings and peers. It’s just so
hard to see them struggle with
all the extra everyday
challenges on top of being a
kid.”

“My child is so anxious and
overwhelmed. They have
frequent meltdowns over
‘small’ things and as a
family, we are walking on
eggshells around them. I
don’t want this to get
worse and for our family to
suffer.”

“My child is struggling
with their learning. They
can’t sit still, focus, write,
or keep up with their
school work. I want to
help them before they
fall even further behind
and this affects their 
 future.”

“I feel alone. I’m worried how
my child will cope with daily
life when they grow up.
Parenting books don’t work
for us and other parent’s
don’t understand our family
life. I want to find my people
for community and
support.”

... being an OT and fellow parent,
I get it! And I can help.

I provide 1:1 support, online parent group
coaching programs, and parent workshops.

Through Occupational Therapy
support we develop your child’s
sensory, physical, and emotional skills
together so they can be more
coordinated, calm and confident.

Our unique approach is based on
brain science, creating longer
lasting results while keeping your
child’s spark and joy.

Honour your parent intuition

Trust your gut. Understand how to support &
parent your child in the way you know is best.

By honouring your parent intuition,
celebrating your child’s unique strengths
and differences, and getting to the root
cause of their difficulties, we build the
foundational skills your child needs.

We’ll work together through close
parent collaborations so you’re
empowered, hopeful, and supported,
making family life easier and
enjoyable for everyone.

more coordinated on the
playground, during sports

Gavin Samuels, M.D. .

As a physician and the father of a daughter with Down syndrome, I look at three areas when choosing a therapist — (1) skill and experience, (2) dedication and (3) personality fit. Munira is one of those rare individuals whose tremendous talent combined with unwavering dedication and passion to help children reach their true potential and a friendly, easy-going personality combine to make her a truly exceptional OT. Our daughter is doing extremely well and my wife and I credit a large part of this to the wonderful work that Munira did with her.

Dr. Francesca Monti .

We were lucky enough to work regularly with Munira for nearly 12 years from when Henri was 10 months old.  I cannot begin to describe what a difference this has made to our lives. Henri is now a thriving, happy boy, with the confidence to do things that many professionals told us he wouldn't have been able to do. Henri wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for Munira. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, that you don't need to look any further. 

Rebecca .

I cannot recommend the Foundations for Writing course enough. Munira is a fountain of knowledge who has such a wonderful way of explaining things. She cares deeply about your child and you, and has really helped me see things differently. Since working with Munira my son has started drawing and writing in a notebook at bed time every night and that to me is such a happy thing and a big leap for us. 

Margaret, NYC Mother .

Munira possesses “the winning treatment combination” which produces results: valuable clinical knowledge, incredible skill & expertise, endless patience, and a wonderful way of relating to children. I wholeheartedly recommend Munira; your child will love her. And, as a parent, you will be hard-pressed to find a better expert in their field.
