Sports-Based Respite in Hamilton & Ontario

Sports-based respite combines one-to-one support with movement, play, and recreation that reflects a person's interests. Olmec welcomes enquiries from families in Hamilton and surrounding Ontario communities.

Activities built around the individual

Start by telling us what the person enjoys, their abilities, and the support they need to participate. Activities are discussed together rather than assumed from age or diagnosis.

Movement, participation, and connection

A session may use an agreed recreational activity as a way to spend meaningful time together and practise participation or social skills. The focus is on a comfortable, supported experience; specific outcomes are not guaranteed.

What to discuss before a session

• Interests and preferred activities
• Communication and sensory preferences
• Mobility and assistance requirements
• Suitable settings, transportation, and schedule
• Staffing, fees, and current availability
