About Thriving Kids London Pediatrics

Thriving Kids London Pediatrics is a private-pay pediatric clinic located in the Lockwood Park area on Southdale Road East. The clinic provides specialized therapy for children and youth ranging from infancy to age 18. They serve families in London, St. Thomas, and across Southwest Ontario, offering support for individuals with diverse needs, including developmental, behavioral, emotional, and learning challenges, as well as sensory processing differences and Autism. The clinic offers a multidisciplinary range of services, including Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech Language Pathology (SLP), and mental health services. Their treatment plans are designed to be family-centered and evidence-based, focusing on the unique abilities and goals of each child. To provide flexibility, these services are available in-clinic, in-home, in-school or daycare settings, within the community, or through virtual sessions across the province. Their approach often incorporates hands-on activities and child-led play to foster independence and improve quality of life. The business was established by Heather Harris, a Registered Occupational Therapist with 17 years of experience in various clinical and rehabilitation settings. Harris founded the organization to provide an accessible alternative to long wait times for publicly funded services. The clinic describes its philosophy as a holistic, strengths-based model where practitioners work as a team to provide coordinated care. The organization has received recognition for its quality of business and consumer choice as highlighted in the Globe and Mail. Clients can book an intake call to begin the process. The clinic provides a variety of therapy spaces and emphasizes a "one child, one team, one plan" approach to ensure coordinated care for every individual.
