“My son has been a client of Hand in Hand therapy for over 10 years. Hand in Hand has provided my son with excellent therapy. Their highly qualified, compassionate and knowledgeable staff have made a tremendous impact on my son's development. They go out of their way to accommodate and to educate parents so there is consistency and continuity. I will say that after having my son in a specialized classroom, working with countless professionals such as OT, PT and speech pathologists, my son has hands down learned all of his skills at Hand in Hand. I highly recommend Hand in Hand therapy. They have changed the quality of my son's life and mine as well.”
Angela Sciabbarrasi
York Region Parent“Top tier autism therapy centre. I've had the pleasure of working for this establishment as well as other autism programs in the past and none compare to Hand in Hand. The kids are treated as family and not just clients, the programming is developed thoughtfully and specific to each individual's needs. The therapists are passionate and dedicated to the progression of the kids. I would recommend Hand in Hand in a heartbeat.”
Matt Tempest
Clinical Specialist“My son has benefited tremendously the last 16 years working with the team. We can’t thank them enough for providing these kids a safe and happy learning environment.”
Matthew S.
Vaughan Parent“I highly recommend Hand in Hand Therapy Center. My nephew started his Occupational therapy last December 2022. It was really difficult for him to obey our commands and to say what he wants. Now, after almost 10 months in Therapy and Early Intervention, we can say that his improvements are very noticeable. He’s now able to follow our instructions and tell us what he wants + We observed how longer it is for him to have his "Waiting time" than before, making it less difficult for us to bring him to events. Kudos to all the teachers in Hand in Hand!”
