Supported Child Development

(Birth to 19 Years)

This program serves families whose children – birth to 12 years – have extra support needs in a preschool or child care setting, and youth 13-19 who require support in their home. Family members are supported to work and go to school while children are supported to attend preschool or child care or be cared for in their own home in exceptional circumstances (including where group settings are not available).

Consultants work with families, youth and children, together with childcare and preschool programs, to develop strategies to encourage child development and promote inclusion.

Key Worker and Parent to Parent Support

(Birth to 19 Years)

Key Workers assist families in understanding the unique developmental needs of children and youth who may have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder or brain injury that results in similar neuro-developmental needs. We work with families on an individual or group basis through parent-to parent support and networking.  We also provide information to other community professionals to assist them to support and include children and their families.
