Understanding Cultural reasons for limited uptake in therapy

KidsAbility is committed to providing culturally-relevant services for all the children and youth who need it in our region. In partnership with Wilfred Laurier University, we are exploring cultural barriers to programs and treatment, which will help us better meet the needs of underserved populations.

Reducing barriers to access

KidsAbility is partnering with Wilfred Laurier University to identify cultural barriers to treatment and support for underserved populations in the children’s rehabilitation. The project aims to create a culturally-safe environment and remove barriers to access timely diagnosis and services for all children and youth in the region and beyond. By exploring these barriers and working collaboratively, KidsAbility hopes to provide culturally-relevant services that meet the needs of all children.

About KidsAbility

KidsAbility™ empowers children and youth with special needs to realize their full potential.

We support over 17,000 children and youth to reach their communication, social, physical and behavioural goals each year. Using a blended model of virtual and in-person services, at KidsAbility, we help children, youth and families to achieve great things at home, at school and in their community.

Demand for our services continues to exceed the resources available. The Rocket Discovery Centre is a symbol of our commitment to children and families that no child in our community will be left behind. Donations support life-changing therapy, innovative programs and the latest technology. Your support helps a child benefit sooner to say their first words, take their first steps, hold a pencil or spoon, or even learn how to make a new friend and participate fully in our community. Together, we can achieve this.
