Why attend?
Young people are more likely to learn when they are motivated and interested in what they are doing. In addition some young people learn best through hands-on experiential learning. Our thrill Seekers Clubs provide an active, fun, and supportive atmosphere to learn social, emotional, sensory, or physical skills.
How does it work?
Thrill Seekers Clubs are one hour sessions facilitated by an Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist or Allied Health Assistants/Therapy Assistants using DIR Floortime therapy and other modes of therapy and encompass:
