Therapy Assistant 2 Go

Therapy Assistant 2 Go I offer in-person Therapy Assistant services to individuals and families in the Edmonton area. Virtual Therapy Assistant Services are also possible. Hi!

Let’s work together to make a difference in the lives of your loved ones! My name is Sharla Quantz and I am a Speech Therapy Assistant as well as an Occupational Therapy Assistant - it’s great to meet you! I offer support to private Speech Language Pathologists as well as Occupational Therapists, offering them therapy assistant services on a contract basis. I graduated in 2014 from Medicine Hat Co

llege, with my Therapy Assistant diploma majoring in Speech, I have my undergrad from University of Alberta in Linguistics. I have also taught Music for Young Children for 21 years - group music lessons for ages 2-12. I love incorporating elements of music into therapy sessions! I work short term contracts (think: treatment blocks) for SLPs or OTs who may be looking for help once in a while - freeing themselves up to possibly work on more complex cases, or however they would find my help useful for their private practice. I have designed posters for Social Skills classes, designed a registration form for a Social Skills camp, revamped and improved existing registration forms for an SLP, and worked simultaneously on OT and Speech goals for a client. In fact, I believe that the therapist/therapy assistant relationship has some fabulous potential when both partners manage their roles and work as a team. I value clear communication between treatment partners and their families. As some background, my practicum was spent six weeks in an Early Ed program and six weeks at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. I continued to volunteer as a communication partner at the Glenrose for the year following my practicum. I really enjoyed working with the adult population at the Glenrose, as I teach music to young kiddos and liked the change of pace. However, I would be open to working with clients of any age. I have a special interest in rehabilitation and brain injury recovery. I also have experience teaching English online for the last three and a half years, and have been working with some clients online during Covid-19 restrictions. So, the great news with that is, I can work with any speech or occupational therapist across Canada

Clapping Games are an Awesome Way to Work on Motor Skills

Miss Jaime writes "As a school-based OT, I use clapping games often with individual children, small groups, and whole classes. The things that I can learn about a child from watching them learn a clapping game are amazing. I thought I would break it down for the rest of the world so I can spread the love of clapping games!"

Did you know the important role that heavy work activities play in our ability to learn, focus, attend, and participate in everyday tasks? It’s true. We all need calming and organizing sensory input in the form of heavy work tasks that provide proprioceptive input through the muscles and joints.

💪Heavy work is a powerful support for organizing input in self-regulation.
🏋️‍♀️In the links below, we cover what heavy work is, when heavy work is needed, and specific heavy work strategies that kids of all ages can do at home, in the classroom, or in their therapy session.
