Our Therapists

Chris Everdell, B Sc. OT Reg.(Ont.) is an occupational therapist with 25 years experience working with children. These children have ranged in age from infants through the teen years. A few sensory challenged adults have also benefitted from her services. Her special areas of interest include early intervention, learning differences and sensory processing. She has worked in clinical, home, educational and community settings which have all involved consulting, treating and teaching.

Rachel Klingler graduated from Occupational Therapy at Queen's University, Kingston, in 2006, and completed her Master's at Queen's in 2007. Rachel has worked as a substitute teacher and integration aide and has six years of camp experience.

Linda Zimmerman, OT Reg. (Ont.) has over 20 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist. She has worked in several Canadian provinces, in settings such as acute care, long-term care, private clinic, school therapy, and preschool outreach. Her special interest areas include sensory processing, developmental coordination, fine motor abilities and visual skills.

We continually revise and update our skills. We also provide co-treatment when appropriate in order to effectively meet the needs of each child and to share knowledge and abilities. Meetings with parents and schools can be arranged as is necessary to incorporate treatment objectives into the child's life outside the therapy clinic.
