Lawlor Therapy Support Services

What Lawlor Therapy Support Services does

Lawlor Therapy Support Services Inc. is a privately held rehabilitation services company headquartered at 1550 South Gateway Road, Suite 328, Mississauga, Ontario, founded in 1998 to deliver community-based one-on-one rehabilitation support to individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) and/or spinal cord injury. The firm operates a workforce of approximately 56 Rehabilitation Support Workers (RSWs) plus four support staff who deliver interventions — including cognitive remediation, behavioural programming, activities-of-daily-living support, vocational and educational coaching, and life-skills training — under the direction of regulated health-care professionals (occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, social workers). Services are matched to clients on the basis of RSW skills, expertise, personality, and geographic location, and are delivered in person across Central and South Western Ontario in clients' communities, schools, and workplaces.

The company's product surface comprises two core lines: (1) the RSW placement programme, with weekly progress notes, monthly manager reviews, and bi-monthly internal training cycles covering OBIA Levels One and Two, CPI Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, First Aid/CPR, and Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS/AACBIS) certifications; and (2) a Technology Program consisting of Technology Training, an Assistive Technology service line, Workshops, and Tech Tip Videos covering computers, tablets, smartphones, alternative communication devices, smart-home setup (video doorbells, smart locks, smart lights/plugs), and individualized client scripts/eBooks. The Technology Training line is delivered remotely across Ontario in addition to in-person service in-region. Secondary services include Behaviour Intervention Workers and Academic Remediation Specialists serving at-risk youth in schools and community settings. Compliance posture covers AODA, PHIPA, and FSCO Service Provider Licensing Regulations.

Lawlor runs a referral-driven, fee-for-service professional services revenue model with no public pricing. Funding flows from third-party payers including the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), private insurance carriers, and legal settlements (notably motor vehicle accident claims); billing sheets are submitted weekly to funders. Referrals originate from regulated health-care professionals, insurers, legal representatives, and families, and are maintained via acknowledgment letters and weekly progress notes. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity, and reinforces market position through board-level participation in BIAPH, BIAYR, BIAWW, and the Ontario Rehab Alliance (where Director of Business Development Rick Hadleycrane serves as Vice President).
