    About

    Ability4Good is a community-based nonprofit, operating as part of Enterprise4Good. We develop social networks, offer services and create caring communities for those that are most vulnerable so that they can live with dignity, achieving their goals and aspirations.

    Ability4Good provides a family centered, play-based, multidisciplinary approach for service delivery to children ages 0-17 and their families. These services provide consultation and coaching to a child and their family. It is intended to support them in acquiring specific skills, learning strategies and building capacity to help the family promote their child’s participation in activities of normal daily living. Program delivery borrows from several intervention approaches, including the Early Start Denver Model, SCERTS, Hanen and Floortime. The program is overseen by a Clinical Director and involves contributions from many disciplines and specialists including: Occupational Therapists, Behaviour Consultants, Psychologists, Physiotherapists and Speech Language Pathologists.
