Funding Resources

We are mindful that all of our clients' have varying financial circumstances. We can help by tailoring our treatment plans to meet your individual needs. The following are a few of the resources available for children and youth with disabilities.

Employee Benefits

Employee benefits packages often provide coverage for occupational therapy services. This means you might not need to pay out of pocket to receive occupational therapy services for your child. Please check with your insurance provider to inquire about coverage.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart

Whether it’s the chance to try a sport for the very first time or to continue with a favourite physical activity, Canadian Tire Jumpstart makes it possible for all kids to participate. We see it as equipping kids for life because quality physical activity in kids does more than improve health and well-being. It helps build confidence, leadership, productivity and creativity.

Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities (ACSD)

The ACSD program, (once called the Handicapped Children’s Benefit, or HCB), helps parents with some of the extra costs of caring for a child with a disability. The Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services. This program provides financial help for parents caring for a child with a severe disability.

Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)

If you are a Canadian resident who qualifies for the Disability Tax Credit (Disability Amount), you may also be eligible to open a Registered Disability Savings Plan and receive money from the Government of Canada in the form of grants and bonds to help you save for the future.
