Programs
Coming Soon
We are pleased to announce that the majority of our programs are now being offered in a virtual format. The Touch Quilt Program, Off-Season Tax Assistance Program, and our newly developed Virtual Workout Room (VWR) will be available online at no cost to all of our clients.
Touch Quilts
A touch quilt (also known as a sensory blanket or tactile quilt) is a type of handmade quilt designed to provide sensory stimulation and comfort to individuals with sensory processing difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, or other conditions that affect sensory regulation.

Tax Clinics
By simply doing your taxes, many are eligible for the GST Credit, Ontario Trillium Benefit, and the Climate Action Incentive. These benefits are cheques that are mailed to your address or deposited into your bank accounts. Not to mention, several may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.
Youth Homelessness
Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe has pledged to eliminate youth homelessness by 2030 — a bold and compassionate goal rooted in prevention, early intervention, and diversion. This vision aligns with Canada’s national housing strategy and aims to ensure that no young person in Ottawa is left without a safe, stable place to call home.
The Change Coalition is advocating for homeless youth and giving them a platform to share their voice.
Virtual Workout Room (VWR)
Physical training helps individuals with invisible disabilities by improving strength, reducing pain, and boosting mental health. It can alleviate stress, anxiety, and fatigue, enhance brain function, and increase overall well-being, fostering greater resilience and confidence.
At The Change Coalition, with guidance from our partners at Anytime Fitness, we make fitness a safe, empowering journey—designed for every body and every mind.
Come visit the VWR to learn how train safely at home or in a gym.
Bursary Program
Invisible disabilities can create a number of barriers for students hoping to attend and succeed in post-secondary education.
