We’re excited to be part of this innovative provincial initiative with Empowered Kids Ontario and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital!

JMCC’s new brain-computer interface clinic is opening up exciting possibilities for children and youth with physical disabilities, including using the power of their thoughts to play, create and connect in new ways.

Thank you to The Slaight Family Foundation for helping bring this transformational technology to families across Ontario. 💙

Over the last year, we have been partnering with Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital to open new brain-computer interface (BCI) clinics across the province, including at the John McGivney Children's Centre, where one client is using the power of his thoughts to play ball this summer!

The continued expansion of BCI clinics across Ontario is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Slaight Family Foundation, whose $30 million gift to 11 organizations in the represents the single largest investment in disability in Canadian history:

Rick Hansen Foundation, CCRW, CNIB, Canadian Women's Foundation, Easter Seals Canada, Inclusion Canada, March Of Dimes Canada, Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN), Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility
