“My son has been attending Sirota’s since September 2021. We were referred here by Sunny Hill Rehab and BC Centre for Ability to support my son’s rehab journey both physically and emotionally after a long battle with brain cancer. We have seen amazing results in a very short time in his physical coordination and in his confidence in himself. We value the work they do with children and youth of all abilities and highly recommend their services.”
