Our Services
Tamaca offers a comprehensive range of allied health services to support children, youth, their families, and communities. Our offerings span multiple disciplines – from communication and motor skills to mental health and nutrition – allowing us to address needs holistically. Here’s an overview of our core service areas:
Speech-
Language
Therapy
Helping children communicate effectively (speech clarity, understanding and using language, social communication skills, and more). Our SLPs provide assessments, direct therapy, and consultation to support children in finding their voice and improving their ability to express needs, ideas, and feelings.
Occupational
Therapy
Promoting children’s ability to participate in daily activities (fine motor skills like handwriting and buttoning, sensory processing for regulation, self-care tasks, play skills, etc.). Our OTs focus on building independence and functional skills at home, school, and in the community.
Physiotherapy
Enhancing gross motor development, physical strength, coordination, and mobility. Our PTs help children who have difficulty with movement or physical participation – whether due to developmental delays, injuries, or neurological conditions – to improve their motor skills and confidence in movement.
Mental
Health
CounselLing
Supporting emotional and mental well-being through individual and group counselling, psychology services, and psychiatric nursing (mental health therapy). We address issues such as anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, self-esteem, and more, often through play-based therapy for younger kids and talk or activity-based therapy for older youth. Family and caregiver support is a key component as well.
Nutrition
Consulting
Providing guidance on healthy eating and nutrition across the lifespan (from prenatal and infant nutrition to youth and family nutrition). Our Registered Dietitian offers assessments, meal planning, and counselling for concerns like picky eating, growth and weight management, diabetes prevention, heart health, and special dietary needs. We also run interactive cooking and nutrition workshops.
Behaviour
Consulting
Supporting children, families, and teams by assessing needs, creating individualized plans, and providing practical strategies to encourage positive behaviour, learning, and social-emotional growth. They work collaboratively with caregivers and staff to build skills, strengthen relationships, and create supportive environments where children can thrive.
Each of these service areas is delivered by qualified, passionate professionals who are part of the Tamaca team.
We often provide integrated services – for example, a child with multiple needs might work with both an SLP and an OT during a visit, or our team members might co-facilitate a group session combining movement and communication goals. We tailor our involvement to what each community or child requires.
