Welcome to Lansdowne Children's Centre. The importance of attending appointments, consistently and on time. Start Here Guide: Client Appointment Attendance If you are unable to keep an appointment please contact the Schedulers Office at least 24 hours in advance, by phone at 519-753-3153 or by email booking@lansdownecc.com to let us know you are cancelling. Return Next Attendance If you need to cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours' notice, please contact your therapist directly. The aim of our attendance policy is not meant to be a burden. It helps us to offer a high standard of service to our clients, and to move clients from our waitlist to services as quickly as possible. Your child’s goals will only be able to be met when you come regularly to all appointments. If something is getting in the way of your child attending therapy appointments, please speak with your child’s therapist as soon as possible to make a new plan. Missed Appointments In order to ensure the most effective utilization of costly and limited resources, Lansdowne Children’s Centre clients are expected to attend appointments as scheduled jointly by clients/caregivers, schedulers and clinicians. In the event of an identified pattern of regular nonattendance, Lansdowne reserves the right, after careful consideration, including (attempted) discussion with the client family/caregiver(s), to discontinue or discharge a client from services. No show visits or late cancellations (i.e. within 24 hours) that occur twice consecutively or that add up to one-third of an agreed upon block of treatment, shall be considered an identified pattern. Clinicians (in consultation with program manager as applicable), shall exercise discretion and professional judgment when discontinuing/ discharging a client for an identified pattern of regular nonattendance and shall consider extenuating circumstances or those beyond the caregiver’s control. Site Closures Lansdowne Children’s Centre is committed to maintaining service delivery to clients at all times. Building closures should be rare and only occur in extreme circumstances, for example, when weather conditions threaten the travel, safety and/or wellbeing of Lansdowne staff and clients. Closures are determined on a site by site basis (i.e. Brant, Haldimand or Norfolk locations). Lansdowne will communicate closures as soon as possible based on information available at the time. Notice of site closures will be posted on our website and social media channels (i.e. Facebook, Instagram), and shared with local radio partners (CKPC 92.1 FM and 98.9 myFM). The Lansdowne automated voice message greeting will also be updated for when clients call reception. Please note that Lansdowne will not necessarily close in the event that school buses are cancelled and/or in the event that a particular school closes in the area.

Give Today Ways To Give Meet The Kids Partner Profiles Impact Report Our Board Contact Us < Back OWEN Hello, my name is Owen Wilson. I am a 12-year-old energetic young man. I really like poutine and pizza and have recently got my gun and hunting license because I think it’s cool to go to the range with my Dad. My Mom and my Uncle own Ken’s Towing and since I was five years old I could help run the controls on the tow truck. When it’s a PD day from school I go to the shop with my Mom and she lets me go on calls with the drivers and I get to talk on the two-way radio, which is cool. I like to build things with my lego, right now I have a remote-controlled lego tow truck that I am working on, it is pretty hard but with my determination I know I will complete it. In the summertime, I enjoy lending a hand cutting grass for people. I have really enjoyed the programs at Lansdown Children Centre especially the Stemotics workshop, social club, and going swimming. I enjoy the social aspect of these programs. I was enrolled in the DIY/Horticulture workshop and really enjoyed that because I got my hands dirty. If you asked my family and friends to describe me they would say I am a caring, compassionate, loveable guy with a big heart of gold, a positive role model, and can give you words of encouragement if you are down. The children and families of Lansdowne thank you for your support. Dontate Today Contact Us

Brantford/Brant County - Haldimand/Norfolk County - Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation - Six Nations of the Grand River OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY All Services Index OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY Occupational Therapy at Lansdowne (OT) Occupational Therapists (OT) at Lansdowne Children's Centre work with children and their families to help improve skills and participation in daily activities. OT focuses on fine motor skills, typically thought of as the use of hands and upper extremities. Fine motor skills include activities such as reaching, grasping and manipulating objects with your hands, and can also involve vision, specifically visual motor skills, often referred to as hand-eye coordination. What are examples of challenges addressed with Occupational Therapy? Feeding (using a fork or spoon or cup) self-care (getting dressed, brushing hair, brushing teeth) playing (gripping toys, stacking blocks) printing and drawing (using a pencil or crayon) cutting with scissors (using tools effectively) emotional regulation (getting calm, alert, and ready to learn, play and/or interact with others) Eligibility Start Referral Children living in Brantford, Brant County, Haldimand County, Norfolk County, Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, may be eligible for Community Based Rehabilitation Services (CBRS) from birth through to their 19th birthday. Services are provided at our main location in Brantford (Brant County), and/or in Simcoe (Norfolk County), Caledonia and Dunnville (Haldimand County). Goals, Skills and Keywords Expectations Once a referral to Community Based (CBRS) Occupational Therapy Services has been completed, your child will be placed on an Assessment Waitlist. Our team will contact you to book your appointment when your turn comes. Your initial phone call conversation often includes questions that help to provide your occupational therapist with important information, to help gain understanding of your child’s strengths and interests as well as areas of need. Your first appointment may be a face-to-face assessment or a parent/caregiver interview. A follow-up appointment may be provided for observation in a natural setting, such as your child's home, school or daycare. The type of assessment will depend on your unique concerns, the reason for the referral, and by where your child fits best within our care pathways. Your occupational therapist will review findings with you, develop goals with you and will help to determine the best plan of intervention and assistance. Your service plan may include parent education sessions, group programming and/or “individual sessions” that are more focused to target your child’s specific goals. You Belong Here.
