The Lending Cupboard is intended for use by families served by the Children's Therapy and Family Resource Centre. Families and caregivers frequently wish to try out the equipment that may be useful in meeting their child's goals. The Lending Cupboard is in place to assist families by loaning necessary equipment to help with day-to-day functioning and skill development in the home or community. It focuses on providing equipment for short term needs and for the assessment of long term needs.
The loan period for the Lending Cupboard items is up to three months. The therapist involved with your child can extend this period if necessary. If a family/caregiver is loaned equipment, it is their responsibility to return it within the stated loan period and to return it in clean and good condition. If equipment is damaged or lost, the borrower is expected to cover a portion of the cost. Some equipment, learning aides, games and adapted toys that are available include:
To access our Lending Cupboard, you must have a child on caseload. Please, complete the Family Resource Loan Agreement form.
R.E.S.T. Workshop
We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
