The Child Development Centre recognizes the integral role that families play in their children’s development. We rely on parents and caregivers as partners in the treatment and learning process. We support them in overcoming challenges, and we join them in celebrating success.
It can be difficult for families to know when they need help, what sort of assistance is available, and how to access it. If you have questions about your child’s physical, emotional, or cognitive development, we make it as easy as possible to get answers. If your family is having difficulties related to your child’s special needs or problems in other areas, we offer a range of Family Services that can make things easier.
You can refer your child yourself or you can consent to have someone else refer your child on your behalf. You can fill out a Request for Service form and mail, email, or bring it to the Centre. You can also call us, and we’ll gladly guide you through the process. A staff member will then explain the services available, and process your referral for review by the appropriate departments.
Referrals are processed in the order received, however, each program has a priority rating system to determine eligibility and priority for service as reviewed by the program lead. Once reviewed, the referral will be assigned when a clinician has availability. The clinician will reach out to you to discuss services for your child and arrange a consultation appointment. Afterward, you have the opportunity to decide if you would like to proceed with services for your child. If you choose to proceed, you and a CDC clinician will develop goals and determine the appropriate level of service.
