Our Vision
To be a leading interdisciplinary therapy centre where every child receives individualized care that celebrates their unique strengths and supports their growth in a neurodiversity affirming environment.
Our History
Founded in 2009 by Nathalie Mabon and Krista Simon, Achieve Therapy Centre began with a shared vision of providing exceptional therapy services to children and families in the Ottawa area. What started as a small practice has grown into a comprehensive interdisciplinary clinic with a team of over 18 dedicated professionals.
Over the years, the clinic has expanded its services to include Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Joint Therapy, and Group Therapy programs. The team includes registered Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, OT Assistants, and Communicative Disorders Assistants, all working together to provide holistic care.
