FIREFLY has a new ally to help children and youth with disabilities and their families.
The organization has been granted membership in Empowered Kids Ontario-Enfants Avenir Ontario.
The association promotes science-based and innovative investments, policies and programs so kids with disabilities live their best lives.
It will work with FIREFLY to ensure the proper services are in place across the Kenora and Rainy River Districts.
Both parties will be able to share expertise and collaborate on future programming.
EKO members care for kids with childhood disabilities; kids with developmental challenges-cognitive, physical and communication; kids who are recovering from an illness or injury; and kids with complex care needs including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, FASD, Down syndrome, and other neurodisabilities.
