Why Choose Pacekids?
Family-Centre Practice
We focus on supporting both the development of the child, as well as the functioning and development of the family unit.
Play-Based
Children learn best through play and our strategies focus on ways to support development while building functional living skills.
Stress Free FSCD Programing
Working collaboratively with FSCD, we take care of all the details. From hiring and supervising the team, paying staff, billing FSCD and managing the paperwork related to a family’s programming, we will take care of those details so families can focus on helping their child reach their developmental goals.
Support Beyond FSCD
At Pacekids, we recognize the distinctive challenges families encounter while caring for a child with diverse needs, and we focus on supporting both the development of the child, as well as the functioning and development of the family unit. Our focus extends to families who may encounter challenges accessing existing programs because of cultural, language, work-related, or financial constraints.
Pacekids is a qualified provider of the Behavioural & Developmental Supports (BDS) Program funded through Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD). Pacekids BDS programming supports families with children from six months to approximately 10 years of age.
Pacekids takes a family-centred, play-based approach to our services by supporting both the development of the child, as well as the functioning and development of the family unit. Contracts can involve up-to-two Therapists who work with parents/guardians to review concerns, suggest strategies and work directly with the child where possible. Goal areas can be targeted to help address concerns both in the home and community environments (i.e. grocery stores, libraries, places of workshop, etc.).
Specialized Services for children from six months of age to 10 years old, based on clinical discretion.

Goals are often related to the areas of behaviour management, social interactions, communication, cognition, gross and fine motor development, mobility and functional daily living skills.
