Expectations
Lansdowne physiotherapy services may be provided in Brantford (Brant County), in Simcoe (Norfolk County), Caledonia and/or Dunnville (Haldimand County).
Once a referral to Community Based (CBRS) Physiotherapy 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. You and your child will meet with a Physiotherapist (PT) at a Lansdowne site, where general information sharing and informal and standardized testing of skills will occur. These tests help to determine your child’s abilities and needs in areas relevant to physiotherapy. Once the assessment is completed your PT will meet with you and your child to review findings, develop goals with you and will determine the best plan of intervention for your child, following our care pathways.
