Therapy for children with special needs in Edmonton, Alberta
Help your child reach their full potential with Growing Changes
Every parent wants to bring out the best in their children and help them be resilient, happy and healthy as they acquire new skills and develop their gifts. But every child is different, with complexities and individual challenges as they earn and grow.
Rebecca Cormier, occupational therapist and founder of Growing Changes, saw a great need for a holistic approach to therapy services for children with special needs. The name Growing Changes reflects the children we work with, their individual talents and needs, and how we strive to help them blossom and bring out their best, healthy selves.
Whether you need assistance with daily goals or lifelong challenges, the Growing Changes team is here for you. Our professionals collaborate with families, establish goal setting, and provide therapy in the child’s natural environment, reducing barriers that can impede a child’s development and progress.

Testimonials
“As a parent with a son who is special needs, I cannot be more appreciative of the staff and services provided by Growing Changes. We were provided with an amazing OT and an equally amazing BC. During the almost 2 years of our involvement with Growing Changes, my son has learned and grown with incredible changes, due to the tools provided from such caring and understanding therapists. Life at home has changed for the better since we have involved with this company. Highly recommended! ”
“I’m very pleased with the help I’ve received for my child, from Growing Changes. The team I have had the pleasure of working with for the last couple of years is very knowledgeable. They have worked hard to develop a good report with my child. This has allowed my child to better understand their teaching strategies and be able to use those strategies within everyday problems that may arise. I highly recommend growing changes to other families if you wish to see a positive change take place in your child’s behaviour.”
“I am so grateful for my BC, Nicole, from Growing Changes. She has positively impacted my world and more importantly my daughter’s world. The progress and growth my daughter’s challenges has been more than I could have hoped for. Highly recommend both Growing Changes and Nicole”
