The
Cochrane Temiskaming Children's Treatment Centre officially opened its
doors in April of 1980. The Centre is one of twenty such agencies in the
Province of Ontario.
The
Centre’s mandate is to provide bilingual services to children with motor
and/or perceptual based difficulties. The team of Professionals include
Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology and

employs therapy assistants who provide therapy services under the
supervision of the therapist.
The
Centre established satellite offices in 1984 and 1985 in Kapuskasing,
Kirkland Lake and New Liskeard. Outreach
areas include the three districts of North Cochrane, South Cochrane and
Temiskaming. Therapists
typically travel on a weekly basis to these areas.
After
operating out of leased facilities in South Porcupine and in Timmins, the
Centre moved to its permanent location, Kinross Place, on the corner of
Ross Avenue and Highway 655 in April of 1998.
The
Centre has increased its staffing from 3 in 1980 to over 25 in the year
