ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development

What ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development does

ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development is Ontario's largest Children's Treatment Centre (CTC) and a registered charitable non-profit (Charitable No: 11890 1446 RR0001) founded in 1971 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. The organization delivers integrated pediatric therapy, medical, and family-support services to children and youth with physical, developmental, communicative, and sensory disabilities across four sites in Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and Orangeville, serving Peel, Halton, and Dufferin regions. In FY2025-2026 it served 32,230 unique clients and delivered 267,953 appointments, supported by 691 staff and 228 volunteers. Service lines span occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, autism services (including 1:1 ABA), medical/specialty clinics (Botox, CP Neuromotor, ASD Diagnostic, Neuromuscular, Orthopedic), Infant Hearing, Blind-Low Vision Early Intervention, respite, recreation therapy, and School-Based Rehabilitation Services embedded in regional school boards.

The technology backbone is the ErinoakKids Connect secure patient portal (adopted by 79% of registered clients), the SmartStart Hub service-navigation platform, and a three-year Digital Health Strategy 2026-2029 that targets care-team connectivity, paper/fax elimination, Ontario provincial health-network integration, and exploratory AI tools (knowledge retrieval and process automation) under strict oversight. Strategic IT is co-developed with Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

The revenue model is grant-funded rather than commercial. The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) contributed 79.7% of FY2024-2025 funding and 77.8% of FY2025-2026 funding, with regional funding (~2.6%), donations and fundraising (~2.9% / 1.6%), and other revenue including deferred capital contributions (~14.8% / 17.9%) making up the balance. Pledge commitments include The WB Family Foundation ($2M+) and The Longo Family Foundation ($500K+). Services are publicly funded, accessed via healthcare-provider referrals (79% of family acquisition), word-of-mouth (12%), and other channels (10%), with go-to-market anchored on clinical referral networks, community outreach, and direct service delivery rather than sales motion.
