Through purposeful play, we unlock endless possibilities for development.
Our Approach
At Purposeful Play Pediatrics, we believe in fostering growth and development through purposeful engagement and play. Our approach to pediatric occupational therapy is centered around the belief that children learn best when they're having fun. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques, personalized treatment plans, and a nurturing environment, we empower children to reach their full potential. By focusing on purposeful play, we address various developmental challenges while promoting independence and confidence in every child we serve.
We proudly provide occupational therapy services to children in Grande Prairie, AB, and the surrounding area.
Aimee is an Occupational Therapist registered with Alberta College of Occupational Therapy, holding a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Acadia University and a master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Dalhousie University.

-
Pediatric occupational therapists work with children and their families to promote functional independence in all their "occupations" - and for children, their occupations are activities that enable them to learn and develop life skills, be creative and play, and thrive in their relationships with others. Therefore, occupational therapists work with children who are having difficulty mastering one or many of their occupations.
