Background
Background of Meryle Lehn BOT(c)
As a Canadian occupational therapist in private practice supporting children in rural, urban, school and home settings, I have combined my early sensory integration background from the 70’s, with sensory modulation, sensory diet and cognitive motor learning theories and strategies. Within the last few years my framework has been enriched with completion of WPS’s excellent Sensory Integration Praxis Certification (SIPT); where peers and instructors encouraged me to formally publish my stick kid cut and paste activity pictures and planners. Background of Community Therapy Associates Inc:
CTA as a sole proprietorship has been in existence since 1992 in the Cochrane and Calgary region. It was formally incorporated in 2005. Product Development:
Throughout 2005 and 2006 extensive product development and beta testing occurred with great support from:
