Programs & Services

LIFEspan Service

The LIFEspan service was developed jointly by Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and Toronto Rehab and is designed to help youth and young adults with childhood-onset disabilities to successfully transfer from the pediatric rehabilitation system to the adult health-care system.

The LIFEspan service provides support and education to achieve good long-term health and wellness. The clinic at Holland Bloorview focuses on helping young adults to prepare for the transfer to adult health care. The adult clinic at Toronto Rehab provides a single point of access for life-long, comprehensive and co-ordinated rehabilitation services.

Services can include assessment, consultation and intervention from various disciplines including physiatry, nurse practitioner, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work, speech-language pathology, youth facilitator and life skills.
