Services provided are dependent on the policies of the particular funding program (for example, Preschool Programs are funded focused on child development, and School-Age programs are funded separately focused on assisting the child to learn in school.)

Recreational Respite
Recreation therapy or therapeutic recreation enables any individual to achieve quality of life and optimal health through meaningful experiences in recreation and leisure. It provides support, guidance and advocacy for any individual with physical, mental, social, behavioral or emotional limitations. Our recreation programs are individually designed based on the strengths, interests, needs and abilities of our clients. Our skill in recreation therapy is in the ability to engage through sometimes challenging times, transition into programs that are a good fit or help integrate to ensure inclusion for all. While standard therapies tend to treat illness, recreation therapy can aid to develop and maintain great well being and quality of life.
Our Just for Kids program involves the design and implementation of therapeutic recreation programs that can contribute greatly to a child’s growth and help with a variety of social, motor, physical and cognitive skills. Our team will identify the specific goals and objectives specifically beneficial to the child’s needs and create a program that will encourage positive participation at home, school and in the community.
Contact: We are currently serving the regions of Kitchener/Waterloo, Niagara, Hamilton-Wentworth, Dufferin County, Halton, Peel, Simcoe County, Durham, York, GTA and surrounding areas.
