Bloorview Kids Rehab
***You need a referral for services, do NOT make the same mistake we did, even though you will find the area for referrals and it says you need a referral from a doctor what it does not tell you or your doctor is they need to have a pediatric specialty to make most of the referrals! Ask for a referral to a Pediatrician and have them send it in.


Bloorview Kids Rehab assesses and treats children born with disabilities and special needs and those who acquire disabilities through serious illness or accidents. Children with complex disabilities access services at Bloorview on an inpatient or ambulatory basis according to their needs. Bloorview helps clients transition to adult services when they turn eighteen.

Bloorview offers inpatient, outpatient and day patient services in three main program groupings – Child Development, Community, and Rehab and Complex Continuing Care.

Day Cares and Schools:

Silver Creek Preschool

Silver Creek provides a positive pre-school setting with therapeutic (physio, occupational, speech & language, and music therapy) services delivered within a caring and creative early education classroom.

We help children with and without physical and developmental challenges to achieve success as defined by each child and family.

We are dedicated to working with our families, the community and other professionals to ensure that the unique promise of each child is realized.

Silver Creek also has equipment specialists come into the school, they can fit AFOs and order walkers, wheelchairs or any other equipment your child is in need of. They fill out all the needed paperwork for ADP and Easter Seals, you just sign it and send it back, no more running all over the place to have all your child's needs met. They DO have a long waiting list, place your child on it ASAP, even a but before their second b-day. Our son was placed on their waiting list 10 months before he turned two and had a placement for hos birthday.

Bloorview School Authority

Bloorview School Authority offers a unique setting for students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade One. The full day program is based on The Ontario Curriculum for Kindergarten and Grade One. Our approach is holistic and child-centred and based on the students’ individual strengths and needs. Our small classes allow for an academic focus on the acquisition of early literacy and numeracy skills to create the foundation for early learning. Library, music, visual arts, adapted physical education and aquatics enrich the weekly school timetable.

****Your child MUST be a client at Bloorview to enroll in their school, it is not guarantied that they will get a placement either, you MUST also enroll your child at their home school (your local school) because it is them who pick up the tab for sending your child there. This must be done ASAP, if they are accepted and your child is not registered at their home school yet you risk losing their placement! Also get the referral to Bloorview ASAP, you child MUST be seen by someone for one of their services BEFORE intake or your spot will be denied!
