Teamwork in Action!

This morning our Occupational Therapy Department came together to review and discuss Primitive Reflexes!
These dedicated moments of professional development are about more than learning, they’re about:
✔️ Growing together as a team
✔️ Sharing knowledge and perspectives
✔️ Strengthening the quality of care we provide to children and families

At KidsAbility, we believe that when our therapists learn together, we all become stronger for the children we serve.

What does screen time really do to a child's brain?

Our Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Laurence van Hanswijck de Jonge, explains how excessive screen time impacts:
- Brain connectivity and learning pathways
- Sleep and attention
- Emotional development

The research is clear: too much screen time can slow brain development and increase risks of anxiety, depression, and behavioural challenges.

At KidsAbility, we’re here to help families make informed choices for healthy child development.
