The Cochrane Temiskaming Children’s Treatment Centre (CT CTC) is a bilingual, not-for-profit organization, funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. The CT CTC provides services to children and youth from birth to 19 (and up to 21 if attending a Ministry of Education sanctioned program) with various physical, developmental and communication challenges who reside in the districts of Cochrane Temiskaming and communities into the James Bay area.

Mission Statement

Mission

To improve the lives of children and youth with special needs and their families by delivering quality, timely, and responsive rehabilitation programs and services.

Vision

All children and youth realize their abilities, meet their potential and engage in their community.

Values

  • Family-centred care: we recognize that each family is unique and that they are the experts on the child's abilities and needs. Each solution implemented considers the strengths and needs of all family members.
  • Knowledgeable: we support children and youth by delivering evidence-based services and implementing standards of best practice, driving the best possible outcome.
  • Collaboration: we partner with families, community service providers and educators to better the lives of children with special needs.
  • Respect: we understand that all circumstances are unique, and the differences exist in each community across northern Ontario. We consider all perspectives, actively listen, and proceed with decisions together.

Our Story

The Cochrane Temiskaming Children's Treatment Centre was established in 1979 as a non-profit organization with charitable status and has grown from three to more than 40 staff across six locations.

The CT CTC collaborates closely with community service providers and is determined to offer services as close to home as possible for its diverse clients. Recently, the CT CTC has provided office space at their main office for Timmins Pediatrics services, enhancing our vast expertise.

The centre provides such core services as speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, recreation therapy, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder support, social work, coordinated service planning and Urgent Response under the Ontario Autism Program. It also maintains specialized clinics in neonatal follow-up and early childhood development in partnership with Timmins Pediatrics and the Complex Care Clinic is run in partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, based in Ottawa, and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, which provide advice and consultation either virtually or in person when possible. The Infant Preschool Clinic works with local experts to screen children under five.

In October 2020, the amazing team from Smilezone transformed six spaces into bright, colourful and super-welcoming areas.
