About Us

Our Founding Story

Hayden's Hub was founded in 2022 by a group of parents and caregivers who recognized the need for better support systems for youth with special needs in Ottawa. After experiencing firsthand the challenges of navigating resources and services, they came together to create a centralized hub of information and community support. Named after Hayden, a young person whose journey inspired our founders, our organization has grown into a vital resource for families across the Ottawa region.

Our Mission

To empower youth with special needs and their caregivers through accessible resources, community connection, and advocacy for inclusive practices in Ottawa.
