What’s NEW at Davis Occupational Therapy
Clinical Fieldwork at Davis Occupational Therapy
Hi everyone,
My name is Harjot, and I'm currently a second-year Occupational Therapy student at the University of Toronto. I'm excited to share my experiences and reflections on my third fieldwork placement here at Davis Occupational Therapy.
Featuring me and my nephew, Mace :)
Davis Occupational Therapy Inc.
Davis Occupational Therapy is a Toronto-based company that focuses on supporting adults with ADHD, Learning Disorders, Autism, Persisting Concussion Symptoms (PCS) in improving their quality of life both at home and work. Davis OT also provides corporate education on Office Ergonomics and conducts Ergonomic Assessments across the GTA. From the moment I joined this dynamic environment, I knew I was part of something special. The dedication and passion of the team at Davis OT are truly inspiring, and I'm eager to learn and grow alongside them.
My personal journey, particularly as an individual diagnosed with epilepsy, has given me firsthand insight into the challenges of navigating the healthcare system. Growing up as the daughter of immigrants, I've often found myself advocating for my needs in unfamiliar and sometimes daunting situations, where culturally competent care was not readily available.
My experiences with epilepsy have fueled my passion for making a difference in healthcare, and why I want to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy. I believe that everyone deserves compassionate and culturally sensitive care, regardless of their background or circumstances – values that are evident in the care provided by the team at Davis OT. At Davis OT, I see the opportunity to apply my knowledge and skills as an Occupational Therapy student while making a meaningful impact on our clients' lives. From providing ergonomic consultations to neurodiverse individuals, such as Adults with ADHD and Autism, every interaction is a chance to empower and promote holistic well-being.

Adult ADHD Resources
In my first week, I've engaged with clients presenting with both formally diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed ADHD. I have started creating a series of educational resources for neurodivergent individuals, including a sleep hygiene infographic. Click the picture to download your own copy of the handout ->

Cheers! - Harjot
