Ontario Supporting Expanded Special Needs Care in Eastern Ontario

Dec 05, 2016

Ontario is helping children and youth with special needs and their families receive better care close to home by supporting the expansion of treatment space for special needs services at the Ottawa Children's Treatment Centre at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO-OCTC).

Minister of Children and Youth Services Michael Coteau made the announcement today in Ottawa at the ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion. The new addition will increase the hospital's treatment capacity for children and youth with special needs and improve services for Francophone clients.

The expansion will include:

Six treatment rooms for specialized, therapist-led care for children and youth with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, congenital conditions, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders and brain injuries

A new space for a French language pre-school program, which will give francophone children receiving treatment a dedicated area to learn, play, develop and grow

The project is expected to be completed in June 2017.

Ontario is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads and bridges in the province's history. To learn more about what's happening in your community, go to Ontario.ca/BuildON.

Supporting children and families is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
