The OSNS has delivered evidence-based support services to children and families for the past 40 years. The OSNS (Okanagan Similkameen Neurological Society) Child & Youth Development Centre is a pediatric and youth therapy centre, focusing on:
-assessment,
-education, and
-individualized rehabilitation treatment of developmental delays in children aged 0 – 16.
Our Early Intervention program includes specialists in speech-language pathology, physiotherapy (where children learn to walk, climb, & coordinate movements), and occupational therapy (where children learn basic life skills, such as eating, dressing, toileting). Our Autism Treatment (ABA) program provides children up to the age of 16 with a personalized, goal-focused treatment program.
Our vision is a community in which children and youth reach their full potential.
Our mission is to maximize the developmental growth, emotional health and creative capacity of children and youth in the South Okanagan Similkameen through early intervention and family centred care.
