Following the closure of Health Nexus on March 31, 2026, Partners for Planning (P4P) will be managing and updating this website and the FASD Family & Caregiver Support Group Grants. We are dedicated to ensuring a seamless experience and appreciate your continued patience during this transition.
This workshop will discuss the "Pyramid of Learning" and how children's early developmental movements, milestones, and early life trauma affect the nervous system. Heather will discuss attachment-based O.T. interventions, sensory-motor activities, the Safe and Sound Protocol from Interactive Listening Systems, and the importance of co-regulation. She will discuss her experience in working with psychotherapists at the Ottawa Centre for Trauma and Attachment Therapy and how a team approach has benefited her clients. Some fun, regulating gross motor activities for home will be discussed. Get ready to learn how to move, and practise your breath work in this fun-filled session.
