Welcome to Lansdowne Children's Centre. The importance of attending appointments, consistently and on time. Start Here Guide: Client Appointment Attendance If you are unable to keep an appointment please contact the Schedulers Office at least 24 hours in advance, by phone at 519-753-3153 or by email booking@lansdownecc.com to let us know you are cancelling. Return Next Attendance If you need to cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours' notice, please contact your therapist directly. The aim of our attendance policy is not meant to be a burden. It helps us to offer a high standard of service to our clients, and to move clients from our waitlist to services as quickly as possible. Your child’s goals will only be able to be met when you come regularly to all appointments. If something is getting in the way of your child attending therapy appointments, please speak with your child’s therapist as soon as possible to make a new plan. Missed Appointments In order to ensure the most effective utilization of costly and limited resources, Lansdowne Children’s Centre clients are expected to attend appointments as scheduled jointly by clients/caregivers, schedulers and clinicians. In the event of an identified pattern of regular nonattendance, Lansdowne reserves the right, after careful consideration, including (attempted) discussion with the client family/caregiver(s), to discontinue or discharge a client from services. No show visits or late cancellations (i.e. within 24 hours) that occur twice consecutively or that add up to one-third of an agreed upon block of treatment, shall be considered an identified pattern. Clinicians (in consultation with program manager as applicable), shall exercise discretion and professional judgment when discontinuing/ discharging a client for an identified pattern of regular nonattendance and shall consider extenuating circumstances or those beyond the caregiver’s control. Site Closures Lansdowne Children’s Centre is committed to maintaining service delivery to clients at all times. Building closures should be rare and only occur in extreme circumstances, for example, when weather conditions threaten the travel, safety and/or wellbeing of Lansdowne staff and clients. Closures are determined on a site by site basis (i.e. Brant, Haldimand or Norfolk locations). Lansdowne will communicate closures as soon as possible based on information available at the time. Notice of site closures will be posted on our website and social media channels (i.e. Facebook, Instagram), and shared with local radio partners (CKPC 92.1 FM and 98.9 myFM). The Lansdowne automated voice message greeting will also be updated for when clients call reception. Please note that Lansdowne will not necessarily close in the event that school buses are cancelled and/or in the event that a particular school closes in the area.

He is a sponge and loves to learn, is compassionate, loving, caring, and funny. He is eager to help those around him. Many of Isaias's success can be attributed to the years of time spent with Lansdowne Children's Centre. Gabriel is currently 13 years old (going on 14 this summer). He is preparing for grade 9 this coming September. Gabriel, much like his brother is a sponge and enjoys learning. Constantly pushing himself to meet goals. His dream is to become a paleontologist. Gabriel is outgoing, funny, caring and loving. Like his brother Isaias, Lansdowne has been a huge puzzle piece in propelling Gabriel forward to the success he is today! Isaias and Gabriel are not only brothers but best friends. Isaias is full of facts and can grab your attention in an instant to teach you all about something. He has mad dance skills and is just as talented at yoga! Gabriel is very thoughtful and it shows in everything he does from a kind word to a creative project. He loves dinosaurs and it would be impossible to stump him on any dinosaur-related information! The care and support they show each other is heartwarming and they will offer that same support to their peers. Gabriel is always there to give a friend an uplifting compliment during a creative project and Isaias can always recognize when someone is feeling down and needs a friend. “The Brothers” can always be relied on to bring their contagious enthusiasm to any activity or event!

Give Today Ways To Give Meet The Kids Partner Profiles Impact Report Our Board Contact Us < Back OWEN Hello, my name is Owen Wilson. I am a 12-year-old energetic young man. I really like poutine and pizza and have recently got my gun and hunting license because I think it’s cool to go to the range with my Dad. My Mom and my Uncle own Ken’s Towing and since I was five years old I could help run the controls on the tow truck. When it’s a PD day from school I go to the shop with my Mom and she lets me go on calls with the drivers and I get to talk on the two-way radio, which is cool. I like to build things with my lego, right now I have a remote-controlled lego tow truck that I am working on, it is pretty hard but with my determination I know I will complete it. In the summertime, I enjoy lending a hand cutting grass for people. I have really enjoyed the programs at Lansdown Children Centre especially the Stemotics workshop, social club, and going swimming. I enjoy the social aspect of these programs. I was enrolled in the DIY/Horticulture workshop and really enjoyed that because I got my hands dirty. If you asked my family and friends to describe me they would say I am a caring, compassionate, loveable guy with a big heart of gold, a positive role model, and can give you words of encouragement if you are down. The children and families of Lansdowne thank you for your support. Dontate Today Contact Us
