We can help.
Our role is to help families with their children’s development. This site lets parents, service providers, and the community know about the services we provide to families.
Our name, NONA, is an acronym for the North Okanagan Neurological Association, originally established in 1966 as a branch of the Okanagan Neurological Association. Today, NONA is recognized as the North Okanagan’s Child Development Centre, providing comprehensive child development services throughout the region. We offer a wide range of programs and supports for families and caregivers of children with diverse developmental needs, delivering services in homes, within the community, and at our Centre.
Our operations are funded by the provincial government to provide services.
OUR VISION
Children, youth, and families feel valued, supported, and connected — so they can belong, participate, and thrive in their communities.
OUR MISSION
NONA partners with children, youth, families, and community to provide welcoming, accessible child development services that foster growth, belonging, and participation in everyday life.
OUR STAFF
NONA’s staff provide specialized services in partnership with families, recognizing that families know their children best. Our family-centred plans are grounded in everyday life and support children’s function, friendships, fitness, fun, belonging, and future participation at home, school, and in the community.
Working individually and in groups, NONA’s employees provided developmental programs for more than 750 children and youth with support needs in the past year. Their skill, care, and commitment help children participate, connect, enjoy everyday moments, and grow in the places and relationships that matter most to them.
At NONA, our values show up in how we welcome families, build belonging, learn together, follow through with care, and work alongside our community partners. They guide the everyday relationships, decisions, and supports that help children, youth, and families feel valued, connected, and included.
NONA is accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
