2021-2022 | Gratitude Report


Thank

You!

It’s easy to celebrate large accomplishments like

serving our community for 65 years. But here at

KidsAbility we put a special emphasis on the small

celebrations. And each time a child and their family

begin their KidsAbility journey, we think of

you, our supporters.

Two constants remained throughout 2021-2022: KidsAbility’s commitment to

families and the loyalty of our donors, partners and generous community. It was you

who helped build stronger families and a healthier community so that even our

youngest children progressed towards their goals, supported by our expert clinicians

and dedicated support staff of over 300 who bring their best every day.

KidsAbility connued to meet the needs of children, youth and their families in the most

responsive ways – whether in person or using technology – each according to their

needs. KidsAbility is grateful to the Ontario government for its investment in pediatric

rehabilitaon which enabled us to expand our community-based programs. In addion,

new ausm funding allowed us to introduce early intervenon programs such as the

Caregiver-Mediated Early Years and the Entry to School program. Each of these

iniaves connue our commitment to promote barrier-free access to services and

help children and youth live happier and healthier lives.

Children with developmental needs have been negavely impacted by the pandemic.

Demand on pediatric therapy connue and have never been higher. To begin to solve

these complex problems we established a Bright Ideas staff campaign to design,

implement, and evaluate the impact of new approaches to improve access to care.

In the fall, our organizaon completed an accreditaon process with Accreditaon

Canada. It was a pivotal moment for our team to proudly showcase our exceponal

work of upholding the safety and quality of family-centred care during a parcularly

2


challenging me. KidsAbility received an unprecedented Exemplary Status and an evaluave score of 100%, a proud accomplishment that

demonstrates our commitment to clinical excellence.

KidsAbility was quick to recognize the challenges that some children experience in receiving a vaccinaon. We were excited to host Special

Accommodaon COVID-19 Vaccinaon Clinics in partnership with the Region of Waterloo and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health Units.

In total, 21 sensory-friendly vaccinaon clinics were held over four months with nearly 100 KidsAbility staff generously volunteering their me and

experse to help 600+ children and youth region-wide get vaccinated. And we are gearing up to do the same for the youngest members of our

community in the fall of 2022.

Our community gave generously through KidsAbility Foundaon fundraising campaigns and events in 2021/2022 — $2.7M was raised to provide

life-changing pediatric therapy and services, innovave programs and technology to help children achieve their goals. Our Superhero Challenge

was a community success with family and corporate parcipants and teams raising awareness and funds alongside our Rogers media partners

and our presenng sponsor, Linamar.

Donaons remain crically important, for as much as we have to celebrate in providing services to over 14,000 children and youth, referrals connue

to rise as does the cost to provide therapy. Even with provincial government funding received, over 2,000 children currently wait on average 29 weeks

for an inial assessment. Like you, we believe no child should wait to access the support they need to thrive.

In response, our Foundaon will connue to engage the united and collecve power of our community to address this gap. Donaons are simply

life-changing for a child and essenal to ensure the needs of families are counted, realized and supported in their KidsAbility journey. These are

excing mes ahead— ones that we will realize together with you.

We will lead with innovaon to find new soluons for complex challenges to address wait mes across programs and services. We will pursue clinical

excellence by employing caring and compassionate staff who are experts in their field. We will dream big as we engage each of our stakeholders

to envision the best possible experience with KidsAbility. And in all we aim to achieve, we will act with diligence to uphold values of integrity,

collaboraon, accountability, inclusion and respect.

As an organizaon and a community, we will seek the brightest possibilies so that every child, family, volunteer and staff member will be able to

achieve their full potenal.

It’s been really important to me as a first-time mother to

do everything possible to help Everleigh blossom. It is very

challenging navigating this unknown territory. KidsAbility

and their team of therapists and social workers have been

instrumental in helping Everleigh and our family.

They work together to help us learn to advocate as well as

introduce us to a world of resources and equipment that

allow her to be supported and communicate.

I’m in a much better place to explore every day with Everleigh

because I know they are there for us and really care.”

– Becca, Everleigh’s mother


Serving our

community

better.

At KidsAbility, we know that providing an

environment where each family feels connected,

welcomed, included and supported is the best

way to serve our community.

When our therapy teams noced some parents of Eritrean descent struggling to

understand their child's diagnosis of ausm, they were keen to understand how

families felt about the diagnosis and their expectaons. Our therapists knew if they

could improve their cultural understanding of Eritrean customs and beliefs, they could

explain to families what their child could achieve in ways that were most meaningful

and impacul to them.

Cultural conversaons emerged through a virtual workshop in partnership with KW

Mulcultural Centre, KidsAbility’s community provider for interpreve services. From

firsthand accounts given by local Eritrean community leaders, therapists and support

staff were introduced to customs and beliefs, learning about values related to food,

educaon, medical diagnosis, and disabilies.

“Receiving a diagnosis of ausm can be challenging for any family,” explains Clinical

Manager Jessica Adams. “Within the Eritrean culture specifically, we learned that

some parents feel exceponal guilt about their child’s diagnosis. By increasing our

cultural understanding, we build trust with families so that we can be more responsive

in supporng their needs and the services we offer for their child.”

Speech-Language Pathologist Martha Plienegger benefited greatly from the workshop.

She now brings a new perspecve on the different ways culture can influence how a

family defines success.

For Martha to best meet the needs of Eritrean families, an interpreter joins her therapy

sessions with families to describe her words, acons and techniques in Tigrinya (the

Eritrean language). Together, they review weekly goals and discuss expectaons

they’re aiming to achieve.

Buoyed with this new focus, Martha feels beer equipped to shi her pracce

examples in therapy to make them more valuable and relevant for families on their

journey with KidsAbility.

“Knowing that Eritrean families come to me believing I’m the specialist who will ‘fix’

their child helps me to engage differently with them,” shares Martha. “And when

language barriers are removed, it is easier for families to understand and appreciate

their shared responsibilies as part of the therapy for their child. I now see that parents

understand even the smallest steps their child makes, with everyone valuing and

celebrang the outcomes together.”

Diversity is a pathway to strength and equity, so we acvely seek it out in all aspects of

our work. Thanks to financial support from our generous community, over 282 families

benefied from Interpreter Services with the most requested language being Arabic.

KidsAbility is stronger

thanks to the community

support we receive.

Every holiday season since 2006, Charloe Cromarty dons her apron, readies her

to-do list to host dinner for over 80 friends and fellow congregants at her Heidelberg

home she shares with her husband, Bill, and sets an unwavering goal to raise funds

by cooking for the cause and the kids that she loves. To date, she esmates she’s served

530 pounds of turkey, 225 pounds of ham, 45 giant bags of potatoes, and far too many

pies, cookies, squares and tarts to count.

When it wasn't possible for Charloe to invite guests this past December, she penned a

leer to encourage them to make an in-lieu donaon. They responded wholeheartedly.

Over the last 16 years, Charloe and her guests have contributed over $38,000 –

inspired by a child or grandchild who have received services or delighted by seeing

their previous donaons make the greatest impact.

“My dinner guests see their gifts put into

action to help children. They continue

to give because they want that

care to continue.”

“KidsAbility’s work is

vitally important in our

community. At ATS we

work with a desire to

make tomorrow better

than today, and I feel that

sentiment connects our

organizations. It is the

ATS employees who make

what we do possible, and

this award is a great

source of pride for the

entire ATS family. Thank

you for this honour.”

- Andrew Hider, CEO of ATS.

What does community philanthropy look like when you’re a leading global

manufacturing company with over 1,200 local employees in your workforce?

For ATS Automaon, giving back is founded in where they live, work and play and

extends beyond the organizaon’s financial generosity to KidsAbility.

Rooted in their belief to build sustainable communies and create environments

where diversity and inclusion are valued, team members of ATS collaborated with

our therapists to engineer hands-on pediatric therapy equipment to encourage

motor movement and muscle memory. Team members lent their soware

programming experse towards improving our communicaon devices so that our

therapists can beer support children with their communicaon needs.

And they’ve donated baery-powered specialty cars to our Go Baby Go program for

toddlers with limited mobility to assist with outdoor movement, socializing and

confidence building.

To solve complex

problems, we identify,

welcome and embrace

innovative solutions.

Pressures on pediatric therapy at

KidsAbility have never been higher. In

response, we recognize new approaches

are required to best meet the growing

needs of our community.

Celebrating

innovation.

At KidsAbility, we believe every problem is an unrealized opportunity in disguise,

and we seek to help our teams idenfy such opportunies.

Thanks to the support of donor-funded resources, we launched our Innovaon

Hub—a virtual space that brings together staff as creators, and includes innovators,

community leaders and academics to advance creave ideas and soluons for

enhanced family-centred client care.

Under this iniave, the Bright Ideas program invites staff to idenfy a problem and

explore soluons. They receive a variety of supports, training and professional

development opportunies to develop their research, collaborate with peers and

other community experts and connect in an environment of learning.

By building partnerships with academic instuons and recognizing the strengths of

student-led lab research, we aim to produce measurable outcomes from this work

to provide improved quality of care to our families and improve access to care to

reduce wait mes in our community.

the mission and principles of KidsAbility. These funds are invested in life-changing pediatric

therapy and services, innovave programs, the latest technology and to support areas to
