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

Transition to Adult Services: A Guide | Teens | Lansdowne Children's Centre Resource Library Transition to Adult Services: A Guide Who are we planning for? Youth in their later teen years (14-17 years old ) with physical disabilities, developmental disabilities and/or who are medically complex. During ages 0-17 years old youth receive services from children services. Prior to the youth turning 18 years old, they must apply and qualify for funding through adult services which have different criteria than children's services. What are we planning for? The transition out of Children Services The transition through high school and into post secondary school or career path The transition to a higher level of independence The transition to adult service providers (if applicable) Transition planning refers to the transition out of children’s services and transition into adult services. Although some youth will continue to stay in school until their 21st birthday and receive school health services (Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy), most clients will no longer receive services from Lansdowne Children’s Centre after the age of 18. Before discharging, Lansdowne wants to ensure that youth and their family have a plan for the future As teens approach the age of 16, the Lansdowne staff supporting the family and/or school will have a discussion of what the plan is for the future (next few years/beyond high school). Through these conversations, staff will have a better understanding of what kind of adult services the youth may be eligible for and what relevant goals the youth may have for their future. Some examples of goals could include: finding a volunteer opportunity joining a social activity specific goals around the home that may lead to a higher level of independence exploring post secondary options exploring part-time or full-time job opportunites Download printable PDF handout/activity pages Transition to Adult Services: A Guide no download available Download Keywords and search terms commonly associated with this resource include: #adult #transition #teen

Give Today Ways To Give Meet The Kids Partner Profiles Impact Report Our Board Contact Us < Back BILLIE & LACEY 2023 Lansdowne Charity Motorcycle Ride Ambassadors Hello, my name is Billie MacDonald. My sister Lacey and I are the MacMoore Sisters, known for our fundraising at the Lansdowne Charity Motorcycle Ride. I was born with a Brachial Plexus injury in my right arm. It was a challenging time as no one could really explain it to my mum and dad why my arm looked different. When I was one month old I was taken for a visit to Lansdowne Children’s Centre. My sister Lacey had been there the year before to make sure she was ready for school and she was excited for me to see it. We spent some time visiting with Heather and Ashley in the Physio and Occupational Therapy departments and they became my second family. At Lansdowne I have taken part in the Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Recreation programs and so much more. It is my second home. I have been diagnosed with both Brachial Plexus and Acquired Brain Injury with the help of Lansdowne. Throughout the years Lansdowne has helped me with getting everything I need to help me learn better in school, and helping my family get me a mobility device to help me explore the world even when I am having a bad day and couldn’t walk. Every year we look forward to the Christmas Party to get us out and to get to see Santa. It is one of the best family days! Each year we looked forward to going to Lansdowne Children’s Centre events because we got to be with a lot of the people who I know. Thank you for caring to read my letter. Please help support Lansdowne Children's Centre Foundation by riding on July 8, or by making a donation to our team or any of the other riders and teams. We are so thankful for all the Lansdowne has done for our family, and other families. We fundraise each year to help make sure other kids and families get a chance to get the help we have had. The children and families of Lansdowne thank you for your support. Dontate Today Contact Us

Give Today Ways To Give Meet The Kids Partner Profiles Impact Report Our Board Contact Us < Back BROOKLYN 2020 Lansdowne Heroes Walk and Roll Ambassador Brooklyn is just like any other 11 year old girl you might know. She loves to play with her friends, socialize on Facebook Messenger, play on her iPad and at times, torment her younger brother and sister. She loves Disney Descendants, DC SuperHero Girls, dance, and making movies with her friends. She can often be found in her room fixated on the latest Youtube videos or playing with her massive collection of LOL dolls. She was also born with a rare neurologic disorder called episodic ataxia that drastically affects her fine motor, gross motor and speech abilities. Brooklyn may not be able to walk or talk like the average 11 year old girl but she has the same hopes, dreams and desires as any other child her age. Lansdowne Children’s Centre has been an integral part of her development since a very young age when she was first enrolled with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and early integration program soon followed, along with the recreation program as she approached the appropriate age. "When Brooke first became involved with Lansdowne Children’s Centre we were simply following Doctor’s orders. It soon became clear to us that this was a group of people who would help shape who she will grow to become. The staff are committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive environment for all. They have been an excellent resource to us as the parents of a special needs child and we can safely say that Brooke would not be the well-adjusted, social child that she is today if it weren’t for their help." The children and families of Lansdowne thank you for your support. Dontate Today Contact Us
