About This Funding Program
Jordan's Principle is a federal legal principle that supports First Nations children in receiving the government services and supports they need without discrimination or unnecessary delay. Eligible requests can address individual health, social and educational needs and are assessed by Indigenous Services Canada on a case-by-case basis under current requirements.
How Allied Therapy Can Help
Our speech-language pathologists support speech, language, literacy, feeding, stuttering, social communication and AAC.
Occupational therapists support sensory regulation, fine motor skills, toileting support, and participation.
Behaviour analysts provide individualized, neurodivergent-affirming skill and support planning.
Play therapy can support children who have experienced trauma or who are going through big life changes.
Other services can be discussed according to age and clinical fit. We can provide information for care plans and work with authorized service coordinators.
How Funding Works
Start by contacting Allied Therapy to discuss your child's needs and potential services. We can provide relevant service descriptions, fees and clinical documentation within professional scope.
A Jordan's Principle request may require eligibility confirmation, a written request, a cost breakdown, supporting documentation and consent. We will need to wait for appropriate approval and clarify whether payment will be direct or by reimbursement before funded sessions begin.
Who Can Access or Refer
Parents, guardians, young people where permitted, authorized representatives, First Nations service coordinators, community health teams and other professionals working with family consent.
