Special Needs and Fee Subsidy

Special Needs and Fee Subsidy

If you or your child has a documented special need, you may qualify for fee subsidy even if you are not working or going to school. If you have expenses related to your special needs, in some cases these may lower your child care fee.

Your doctor, agency or another professional who has an ongoing involvement with your family must provide written documentation of the special need by completing one of the following forms:

• Documentation of child special needs
  (PDF)
• Documentation of parent/guardian special needs
  
(PDF)

The City of Toronto believes that every child belongs. We recognize that there are times when you may need more support with your child care arrangements or when your child is in child care. Children's Services resource staff, who specialize in services for children with special needs, can assist you at any time. You may be referred to a resource staff by your caseworker or call the KIDSLINE directly at 416-392-KIDS (5437).
