Lyndsey began her career at Laurentian Hospital in Sudbury in 1986. After one year in adult rehabilitation, she moved right into paediatrics at their Children’s Treatment Centre.

Within this position, she would fly into remote areas of Northern Ontario under the government initiative “Integrated Services for Northern Children”.

After seeing many children struggling with sensory processing disorders, Lyndsey became certified in the administration of the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) in the United States.

She then became a qualified observer through Sensory Integration International, for therapists wishing to become certified in the administration of the SIPT. She is one of two observers in Canada.

Lyndsey has also worked in London, Ont. at CPRI as a Senior Therapist for School Health Services. 

She then moved to Barrie, Ont. in 1991 as a manager for School Health Services through Home Care. Home Care then became CCAC where Lyndsey became an independent contractor and worked at RVH as the first Occupational Therapist in the Neonatal Care Unit and assisted in the development of the Neonatal Follow-up Clinic.

“Thus, LSCTS was formed”

Finally, in 2001, Lyndsey saw the growing trend with publicly funded agencies of moving to a consultation model. She believed that a hands-on approach was most effective to bring changes in a child’s function.
Thus, LSCTS was formed.
