FAQs

  • OHIP does not cover Occupational Therapy services however, if you have an extended benefit plan, or access to Jordan’s Principle or Ontario Autism Program funding, they will cover Occupational Therapy Services. I suggest contacting your provider directly to make sure of this. It is helpful to note that we are Registered Occupational Therapists with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (COTO).
