Preparing content
Getting the pack together before you start reduces the chance of incomplete or delayed registration steps.
The same organized documents often help later with schools, funding, and provider intake.
Families can move through registration with a clearer sense of what is already ready and what still needs follow-up.
How To Use It
This template works best when it stays lightweight. The goal is not perfect bookkeeping. The goal is a record you can actually use later.
Gather your diagnosis, health card details, and current identity or residency records first.
Use the notes sections to track missing paperwork, office phone numbers, and follow-up dates.
Once everything is assembled, keep a printed or PDF copy so future applications are easier.
What To Track
The strongest records are the ones that capture recurring therapy costs and the smaller support expenses that quietly add up over the year.
Reports, confirming letters, and details from the diagnosing clinician.
Proof that supports eligibility and confirms Ontario residency.
Extra documents that are useful to keep nearby even when not formally required.
Who to follow up with, what is missing, and where copies are stored.

Open the printable version in a new tab if you want a cleaner, more spacious view while gathering documents.
If you create digital copies, name the files clearly now so future school or funding applications are faster too. Press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (Mac) when you are ready to print or save a PDF.
Next Step
Registration is only one step. Use our broader Ontario guides to understand wait times, supports, and the next actions after intake.
