About 3,600 more kids with disabilities and special needs will benefit from improved services and lower wait times at 20 children's treatment centres across Ontario. Children's treatment centres across the province currently serve more than 58,000 kids, and provide a range of services -- like rehabilitation, physiotherapy and speech language therapy -- to children and youth with conditions such as cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.  The centres also support kids with special needs, such as autism and learning disorders.

Ontario is investing an additional $9 million per year in these centres. This will support new programs and improve existing services to help ensure kids get the treatment they need faster and closer to home.
