Launching new ideas forward

Our Missions

Look around KidsAbility and you will see mini launching pads for new ideas everywhere. A therapy session, a conversation with a parents or caregiver, each interaction with clients and families, is an opportunity to spark ideas for innovation.
About the Mission

Our mission at KidsAbility is to empower every child to realize their full potential.

As demand for our services and treatments continues to surge, we’re committed to keeping pace and meeting the needs of our growing community.

Our Missions

Reducing Wait Times for Therapy

KidsAbility is tackling an age-old problem of wait times in bold, decisive ways. Why? Because kids can’t and shouldn’t have to wait.

Removing Barriers to Access

Our services must be accessible to everyone who needs us. We will remove barriers to services and supports that get in the way so we can reduce disparities in healthcare outcomes.

Improving Quality of Care

Our children & families deserve the highest quality of evidence-based services. Through our commitment to family-centered care, we strive to promote the overall health and well-being of children and their family unit.
Our Commitment

Collaboration and transparency are the bedrock of our research and innovation approach.

We firmly believe that genuine progress stems from collective efforts and the open exchange of knowledge.

By cultivating collaboration among researchers, therapists, families, and the wider community, we harness diverse perspectives, expertise, and resources to fuel innovation. Our commitment to transparency ensures that stakeholders understand the profound impact of our work and how their support directly contributes to transforming the lives of children.

Our Approach

Mission Planning, Launched, Landed & Cancelled

Mission Planning

Innovation starts with an idea.

Launched

Once the idea is shaped into a prototype, it’s time to test it in the real world.

Landed

If the pilot phase is successful and the data supports the new approach, our researchers begin translating it into everyday practice.

Cancelled Mission

Unfortunately, not every idea is a winner, and we need to cancel our mission.

Join forces with us to make a lasting impact on children's lives. Explore partnership opportunities with the Rocket Discovery Centre and together, let's advance research and innovation in the field of disability studies and rehabilitation sciences.
