A welcoming, safe, accessible environment, for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) offering access to individualized supports, resources, and specialized clinical services.
We recognize the individual needs, interests, and goals of each person seeking services and support. We meet people where they are and support them in moving forward. We provide the knowledge, facilitate the connections, and support the skill-building to develop confidence and help people achieve their best quality of life.
Our primary service area extends across five regions – Northumberland, Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Durham, and Haliburton – and is expanding virtually and physically to reach new areas.
This summer, we are proud to launch our “Canopy Camp For All” campaign, an initiative dedicated to providing inclusive, specialized camp experiences for children and youth with ASD, FASD or Intellectual Disabilities in our Canopy Community!
Programs
& Services

Adult Case Management is a collaborative, inclusive, and individualized process. We work towards goal setting, planning, advocating, and exploring available community resources to support the achievement of personal outcomes.
ACM services provide ongoing specialized case management support and oversight within Ontario. Supports include regular communication and check-in meetings with service users and service providers to ensure identified goals are met and adjusted to changing support and administrative needs. Financial oversight of individualized funding as well as submission of service user invoices and expenses is also provided along with the maintenance of multiple legislative requirements.

Our Adult Protective Services Program (APS) strives to support individuals to live their lives to their fullest potential, reflecting their values and choices. The APS Program provides case management support and guidance to adults with a developmental disability who are living on their own in the community so they can live as independently, safely, and securely as possible. Our Adult Protective Service Workers (APSW) work directly with participating* individuals to help them access community-based services and supports that increase independence, employment, volunteer and recreational opportunities, and inclusion in the community.
-
Our Adult Urgent Response Program (AUR) provides support, resources, and advocacy for individuals in urgent situations to prevent the further escalation of risk, to mitigate any untenable risks, and to address an unmet urgent need. This case management is a temporary, short-term response or bridging support until a longer-term support plan and/or solution for the individual can be developed.

At Canopy, the FASD coordinators work directly with the child/youth and their caregiver to set goals, connect with & advocate for other services in the community, and foster parent-to-parent connections. The FASD Program works in the community to provide education & support strategies and collaborates with partner agencies to provide wrap-around support.

Funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, the Passport Program helps adults with a developmental disabilities be involved in their communities and live as independently as possible by providing funding for community participation services and supports, activities of daily living, and person-directed planning.

Our Transitional Age Youth Services (TAY) provide specialized transitional planning for youth who are funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services to prepare the individual, their family, and their team for the transition from child to adult-funded support and services. TAY Coordinators work to ensure services and supports meet legislative requirements and work in collaboration with the individual’s circle of care to create service opportunities. TAY Coordinators also work to profile youth issues and gaps in service through committee membership, focus groups, and training events.
“The coping strategies and resources that were shared and implemented with our daughter has helped her and our family in many ways. Our daughter has been successful in so many areas of her day that she had struggled with in the past. We can’t thank the staff and agency enough for their support.”
