Children’s Therapy Initiative (CTI)
.jpg)
The Children’s Therapy Initiative (CTI) began in May 2002 in response to the need to improve the coordination of audiology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech-language pathology services for children across Manitoba. The goal of the CTI is to provide coordinated, regionally based services that allow children and youth to reach their full potential.
"The provincial initiative has chosen the emblem of the snowflake as a metaphor to reinforce the uniqueness of all children, families and communities. Each snowflake merges into a system that draws upon Manitoba's diversity, strength, and creativity to provide services to meet unique regional needs."
- Provincial Children's Therapy Initiative Planning Guide
The Children’s Therapy Initiative is a joint initiative of the provincial government funding partners of Education; Family Services; Health; Healthy Child Manitoba; and Healthy Living.
For further information or to access audiology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech-language pathology services in your region, please contact the following:
