Therapy Programming
Most of these services are funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and are provided at no cost to families. Services are broken into the following two program areas:
Early Intervention Therapy (for children from birth to school entry). This includes most of our therapy programming. School Age Therapy. We provide physiotherapy and occupational therapy services for children with medical equipment needs funded through the at-home program. There is no cost to access these services as they are funded by the Province. OT services for other school age children are available for a fee.
Our therapy Department offers Speech Language Pathology (SLP), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Physiotherapy (PT) services. Most of these services are publicly funded and are offered at no cost to the families that access them.
- CDC also provides intensive therapy blocks for eligible children under the At Home Program when the Centre has available staffing.
- Local paediatricians, Dr. Boulding (Psychiatrist), and outreach teams from Sunnyhill Health Centre also provide services at the Centre.
Physiotherapy (PT): The primary goal of physiotherapy is to assess and help to improve a child's development of movement and posture.
- Speech-Language Pathology (SLP): Speech-language therapy services are designed to assist in the development of children's verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
- Occupational Therapy (OT): The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in occupations and activities that give meaning and purpose to their lives.
