Our Approach

At LCDS, we are committed to the compassionate evolution of treatment for people of all abilities. We follow an assent-based care approach which emphasizes the importance of the child's agreement and willingness to participate in therapeutic activities. We believe that fostering a collaborative environment enhances the effectiveness of treatment and the child's growth. Together with the families we serve, we create meaningful experiences that respect and honour each child's unique journey. Through the use of parent training, play-based learning, and natural environment teaching, we find ways to connect with our client's and celebrate who they are as individuals.
