Toimintaterapia Sari

Toimintaterapia Sari provides individual occupational therapy and animal- and nature-assisted rehabilitation for children and young people in Rovaniemi, Finland. The service supports participation in everyday life when illness, disability or developmental challenges make daily activities difficult. Therapy is planned around each child’s strengths, interests and goals, with practical skills developed through play, meaningful activities and positive experiences.

Support may address participation at home, in early childhood education, at school and during leisure time, including challenges with dressing, eating, play and relationships. A particular area of expertise is dog-assisted occupational therapy, in which a trained rehabilitation dog can help encourage motivation, interaction and engagement. Therapy may also support emotional regulation, concentration, motor skills and sensory processing.

The practice has specialist knowledge of sensory processing, children’s eating difficulties, trauma-oriented approaches and neurodevelopmental challenges. Services are delivered through goal-oriented work and close collaboration with families and other adults in the child’s life. Accessible therapy facilities in Rovaniemi include varied equipment and a dedicated sensorimotor space
