An occupational therapist in Medicine Hat is helping families that have children with sensory needs.
You know when a rainbow bus pulls up and parks, it’s going to be a fun ride.
That’s the goal of the Sensational Path.
Inside the colourful bus looks like a playground, but it also provides different sensory needs for children.
Erin Grujic has been an occupational therapist for 21 years.
And over the last three, the owner of Sensational Path has been travelling southern Alberta.
She converted a school bus into a mobile sensory space for youth and works with the senses.
“Their tactile sense, your vestibular sense which is a movement sense, and your proprioceptive sense which helps kids be calm when they need to be calm,” Grujic explained.

Erin Grujic is the owner of Sensational Path, a unique clinic within an old school bus.
Grujic moved to the Hat in September of last year with her bus and wants to help families in Medicine Hat and the surrounding area access occupational therapy services for their kids.
“I got tired of having a car full of equipment and always leaving something behind,” she said. “From that, I built this clinic that would travel with me.
“I got this bus and converted it into a playground.”
Occupational therapists work with people to overcome health problems that may interfere with their everyday lives.
