When most people think about innovation, they think startups or software. But at KidsAbility, innovation is happening inside a non-profit — reshaping how therapy and rehabilitation services are delivered for kids and families across Waterloo Region.

We’re joined by Brendan Wylie-Toal, the Director of Research and Innovation at KidsAbility and KidsAbility Rocket Research Centre, to talk about how his team is rethinking systems, shortening wait times, and showing how innovation can thrive even without a dedicated R&D budget.

We explore:

• How play-based launch groups improved access to care

• What Intel and pediatric therapy have in common

• Why tech founders should think about partnerships with nonprofits

Innovation doesn’t have to be high-tech to be high-impact. And sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is ask: “How could we do this better?”
