“It was clear from our very first call that the QuickStart team was passionate about the work that they do. Shortly after our initial call, we received a second call letting us know that QuickStart would fund R’s diagnostic assessment. I cried tears of joy after I hung up the phone. We were on our way to getting our son the supports that he needed- the supports that would change his life.”

What does QuickStart do?

We offer funding assistance for a diagnostic assessment for children up to 24 months of age. This is life-changing for the child and family.

Right now in Ottawa the wait-time is 24 months, that's 2 years, for a diagnostic assessment for a child. We feel that's way too long!

Currently we are funding 6 diagnostic assessments a month for young children ($12K). Assessments are completed within 3 to 4 months -...now that's a game changer!

We help families navigate the system and provide them with information so they can make the best choices for their child.

Other programs:
We offer Sensory Santa - where an autistic person has the opportunity to see Santa too.

We offer respite stays and expert workshops.

We receive no government funding and depend on your generosity.
