Meet and greet visit

The Program meet and greet visit is for clients who are new to art programming. This is a chance for you and your child to see the space and meet us. These visits help us assess your child’s support needs so, in collaboration with you, we can learn how to provide the best experience for your child in our unique group art program environment.

Group programs and one-on-one support

These programs are group based with staff leading the programming and volunteers supporting program goals. We are not able to provide one-to-one support for medical or behavioural needs. Families are welcome to provide their own one-to-one support and may be asked to do so on an as-needed basis.

Confirming your child’s spot

Registration is the first step in the enrollment process. Submitting a registration form does not confirm your child’s spot. After you have confirmed and paid for your spot, you will receive a receipt and additional program details. Programs may be discontinued if a minimum enrollment level is not achieved. If programs are full, you will be informed that your child is on the waitlist for the next available spot.

Cancellation policy

Click here (PDF) for the full cancellation policy.

Program cancellations must be received at least two weeks prior to the program start date to receive a refund. A $50 service charge will be deducted. For cancellations received less than two weeks prior to the program start date, the full fee will be charged. Once enrolled, staff will work with the client and family to ensure their identified support needs are met. However, when all possible options have been exhausted, it may be determined that we are unable to meet their needs and participation in the program is not able to continue. Any decision such as this will be made in collaboration with family, clients, program staff, and the program manager.

One-to-one music session cancellation

Please note that one-to-one Adapted Music Education, Music Therapy, and Music Psychotherapy require 24-hour cancellation notice to reschedule, otherwise the session is forfeited. There is a maximum of one make-up session available which must be completed within a single season and cannot be carried over. At the first session, the music therapist will talk to you about options for one make-up session. Please note: Once the season has begun, you are unable to change therapists. If you are experiencing difficulties with your therapist, please communicate these issues with your therapist to find a solution. If you’re unable to come to a resolution, please contact the program administrator.

Financial assistance

Financial assistance may be available for registered clients of Holland Bloorview. Please contact the Family Support Fund to learn about financial assistance for your child’s enrollment at 416-425-6220 ext. 6303 or send an email to fsfdoc@hollandbloorview.ca.
