About Our Service

School Therapy is a service offered by the IWK Health Centre to students attending schools within the Halifax Regional Municipality. The aim of School Therapy is to work with students, families, and school staff to improve the student’s physical functioning at school. Goals developed are related to the student’s educational and functional needs at school. They generally fall within the following categories: 

  • Classroom productivity
  • Mobility
  • Participation in all school activities

Students may be seen anywhere within the school environment, including the classroom, gym, playground, cafeteria, bathroom, or hallway.

 “One cannot consent to creep when one has an impulse to soar.”
- Helen Keller
