Community Aquatics n’ Occupational Engagement (CANOE)®

Helping clients & families participate in their daily occupations to improve their well-being.

Our approach

Community Aquatics n’ Occupational Engagement’s (CANOE)® approach to occupational therapy may differ from the norm. Our job is to help you & your family get more tools in your toolbox so that you can do all the activities you need, want, or have to do in a day done! Our job is not to “fix” you, but to meet you where you’re at and work on skills or adaptations that YOU want to participate in you daily life.
