Ready to build greater independence? Aria Integrated Care brings expert occupational therapy to your home in Greater Vancouver and virtually across BC. Take the first step towards independence.
Daily Life, Supported
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps people do the everyday things that matter most - getting dressed, going to school, cooking a meal, and returning to work after illness. An occupational therapist supports you in building the skills, strategies, and confidence to take part in life on your terms.
At Aria Integrated Care, our in-home occupational therapy in Greater Vancouver or online across British Columbia is delivered where it counts: inside your actual routines. Not a clinic simulation. Your kitchen. Your classroom. Your morning.

Building Independence for Sophia
Five-year-old Sophia found everyday tasks such as holding a pencil, using scissors, and getting dressed challenging. These difficulties were impacting her performance at school and her confidence at home.

We support children from early childhood through adolescence, as well as adults of all ages navigating recovery, disability, or age-related changes.
06 Is occupational therapy covered by insurance in BC?
Government funding programs generally cover Occupational Therapy services for eligible individuals in British Columbia.

We recommend checking with your private insurer to confirm your benefits and contacting our team for guidance on available government funding options.
