Aboriginal Supported Child Development

 

About the program

We believe that, through inclusion in publicly available preschool and daycare, children with developmental disabilities can earn a full range of skills and actively participate in home and community life.

 

Who we serve

ASCD supports children or youth from 0-18 years old experiencing developmental delays, including speech and language delays, fine motor delays, gross motor delays, cognitive delays, social, emotional, and behavioural delays.

Funding for ASCD is provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Services, and all services are provided free of charge.

 

How we can support you

  • Receiving support in developing their skills
  • One-on-one support throughout their early childhood, when needed
  • Timely developmental screening assessments, when applicable
