💚Yesterday was World Cerebral Palsy Day.💚
On this day we celebrate the strength, creativity, and determination of children and families living with cerebral palsy — and the amazing community of therapists, educators, and advocates who support them every step of the way.

At Functional Therapy Inc., we see ability, not limits. Every milestone — big or small — deserves to be celebrated!

Let’s continue to build a world that is more inclusive, more accessible, and full of opportunity for every child to move, play, and thrive in their own way.

💚 Here’s to courage. Here’s to connection. Here’s to CP warriors everywhere! Let’s help them discover their story of possibility!

🧡 Functional Therapy is Closed Today 🧡
September 30 – National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day
Today, we pause to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and their communities.
As part of our commitment to reconciliation, Functional Therapy is closed to provide space for reflection, education, and respect.
We proudly share the "Every Child Matters" design by Indigenous artist Andy Everson of the K’ómoks First Nation, located near Courtenay, BC. His powerful work reminds us that every child truly does matter — not just today, but every day.
Let’s continue to listen, learn, and take meaningful steps toward healing.

The F-words of Child Development

This family-centered framework helps us focus on what truly matters in a child's development, guiding how we approach therapy, goal setting, and connection with children and caregivers alike.

It's not just about hitting milestones - it's about what matters most to each child and each family.

We support:
💛 Function – building meaningful everyday skills
💛 Family – honouring values, culture, and routines
💛 Fitness – supporting movement, play, and motor development
💛 Fun – making therapy joyful, engaging, and effective
💛 Friends – building confidence in social connection
💛 Future – working toward long-term goals and possibilities

Every child is unique. That's why our therapy is grounded in real-life experiences, guided by the voices of families, and designed to help children thrive - at home, in school and in communities.

Because when families are supported, children grow stronger and their futures shine brighter.

Equipment Spotlight: Tweezer Games

How it's used: Tweezer games aren't just fun, they're a powerful tool for early development!
Using tweezers to pick up small objects helps children:
💙 Strengthens hand muscles
💙 Improves pencil grip
💙 Boosts hand-eye coordination

Benefits include:
💛 Fine motor strength
💛 Better grasp for writing
💛 Focus on attention
💛 Two-hand coordination

Why we love it?
Playful, hands-on practice that supports school readiness, independence, and builds confidence through purposeful play!

Thank you to our OT, Sydney Logan, for this Equipment Spotlight
