Recreational Therapy
Childcan's support group will guide you through how play-time can be therapy-time!
“Our daughter Maya counted the days until the next (Recreational Therapy) session, asking me how many more sleeps. Maya looked forward to spending time with us and with the other families. Maya was sad that our sessions ended.”
Good news Maya! Recreational Therapy continues in both London and Windsor!
All Childcan families are welcome to register, whether you've previously participated or not.
This therapy is for your whole family. Spots are limited. There is no cost to attend. No experience is necessary as you will be guided through the entire process by the specialists at Jess Jones Recreational Therapy Inc. Jessie is a Childcan Mom.
In Windsor, we will continue to partner with our friends at Little Hands Kids for a Cause in 2025, with sessions running on the second Sunday of each month, from 1-3pm at the Community Support Centre of Essex County, 962 Old Tecumseh Rd, Unit 4, Belle River, ON N0R 1A0. See map here. The next sessions include:
Cupcake Chronicles: Storytelling Through Baking (Families create cupcakes inspired by a story they read together, with each cupcake design representing a character or theme). - One more family can register for this session
Leisure Swap Shop: Try Something New, Share What You Love (Families share a simple leisure skill or interest they enjoy - such as origami, storytelling, card tricks, or drawing - and then teaches it to others at mini “swap stations”).
The Pause Project: Designing Restful Rhythms (Through guided discussion, slow sensory-based activities, and reflection, families create their own "rest rhythm plan" and identify ways to intentionally integrate restful, restorative moments into their daily lives).
Please note: only one more family can register for April (cupcakes) but May and June just opened up for registration! Register for May and/or June sessions here.
In London, the fall program will run on the first Wednesday of each month, from 6:30-8:30pm at:
Hutton House, 654 Wonderland Rd N, London, ON N6H 3E5. See map here. The next sessions include:
Culinary Creations: Family Cooking
Nature Walk and Scavenger Hunt Adventure
Sign up for as many of these sessions as you’d like here.
Note: There is no cost to attend. Your commitment to the program is so important to the vitality of it, please register asap, to confirm the number of participants. We do need a minimum of 2 families to run the program with a maximum of 25 participants.
