As a private charitable organization, it offers parents the services that they and their children will need if they are to build a brighter future of hope and opportunity for their children. Services currently provid- ed by the Society to 8,000 children are as follows A consultative nursing service by 40 registered nurses with public health and rehabilitation nursing training and experience bas- ed in 22 district offices across Ontario. A two-week camping holi- day for more than 1000 youngsters over the age of seven at five Society owned and operated camps. The Society also encourages and supports community recrea- tion programs for han- dicapped children sponsored by municipal recreation departments or by, com- munity groups. The Society operates Variety Village Electro Limb Production Centre which manufactures prosthetic and orthotic com- ponents such as powered elbow joints and hands, special bracing and other ar- tificial devices.

The Society will help parents if financial assistance is needed to ob- tain artificial limbs, braces, wheelchairs or other aids. In addition, wheelchairs or other aids required only for a short .period can be supplied from the Society's Loan Cupboard. Diagnostic and consultant clinics are sponsored an- nually by the Society in the remoter areas of tffe province by request. Each year, some 2000 children are examined by specialists whose findings are reported to the family doctor. The Society has been in- strumental in helping to create treatment centres.
