Holland Bloorview's Family Resource Centre helps parents and caregivers find information. There is an on-site resource centre at the hospital, and an online library with an A to Z list of organizations, plain-language tip sheets and a guide to funding and financial supports for families of children with disabilities. Topics range from the Disability Tax Credit and Assistive Devices Program to recreation, respite and housing. Families whose child gets clinical care at Holland Bloorview can also apply to the hospital's Family Support Fund, which can help with costs such as equipment, medication, recreation and respite. It is a good place to start when you are not sure what you qualify for.

Spiral Garden is Holland Bloorview's integrated outdoor art, music, garden and play program for children and youth. Activities are low-structure and low-demand, so children choose what they want to do in a lush outdoor setting, and the program is designed so children of all abilities can take part together. A set number of spots include support with daily living, medications, mobility and self-regulation. Registration opens in the winter for summer sessions, and children are then offered a spot or placed on a waitlist. Holland Bloorview also runs adapted sports and recreation programs, such as wheelchair basketball, for clients aged 7 to 18, or up to 21 if still in high school. Spiral Garden is a fee-based program, so ask about costs and whether your child needs one-to-one support when you register.
