Toronto Parent Events

If you live in Toronto and have a special needs child, then you may be surprised to know how many services are out there to support you. The problem has been finding them. There are a number of organizations all over the city that support people with disabilities. But, each organization lists it own information in their own way. And if you don't know where to look, you'll never know about it.

We're aiming to pull local disability support information all together for you so that you know what's available - for free! Just click on any item for more details.

You can add events too, not only for your own organization, but for any event that you know about. Just fill in the form below!
