Curious about our therapeutic kids and teens programs? Check out the options below for our 2025-26 school year.
If you’re not sure where to start, just give us a call at 289 678 0581 or email our intake team at info@nowwhatsupports.ca and we’ll help you narrow down the options!
- Children and teens are placed in therapeutic programming in collaboration with families and the clinical team in order to ensure that every child will thrive in a program that fits their individual needs and goals – not every program is the right fit for every person
- Programs are capped at low ratios to ensure each child is set up for success
- Payment for group programs is required in advance on registration to hold your placement
- Programs are generally covered by Social Work (MSW) under most benefit plans
- All programs can be covered by Ontario Autism Program (OAP) Core Funding
Flex sessions: Programs are registered by the school term. For prepaid programs that are running longer than 8 weeks, we offer a specific number of ‘flex sessions’, depending on the length of the term.
Spaces are limited and your child/teen’s spot is held for the full length of the term (term length varies by season). We want to be as flexible as possible for families – we completely understand that life happens, and over the length of the term, you may have to miss a session or two. At the same time, we need to protect the therapeutic integrity of the program, and be able to plan and staff professionally in advance for low-ratio support.
Hence the ‘flex sessions’ – if you make your prepayment in full by the start date of the program, your child/teen can be absent for a certain number of sessions without being financially penalized. You will still be required to credit your account upfront for the full length of the program, but flexible sessions will not be charged, and the credit will remain on your account for use in any future program or service (please note there are still no refunds for program registrations unless there is a therapeutic decision made to shift services for your child/teen’s well-being). Any missed sessions that occur over and above the allowed number of flexible sessions per term will still be charged as usual.(in most cases you may enter a program mid-term as a new client; in that case your commitment is to the remainder of the term)
