Listen The Ministries of Children and Youth Services, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and Community and Social Services have asked the organizations in Halton Region who work with children with special needs to come together to plan two strategies: 1. Coordinated Service Planning 2. The Integrated Delivery of Rehabilitation Services. These new strategies will mark the beginning of a new way of delivering services to children and youth with special needs and their families. First steps of the Special Needs Strategy include: Identifying children’s needs earlier and getting them the right help sooner; A new developmental screen for preschool children has been developed that will help identify potential risks to children’s development and connect them with the services they need as early as possible. Coordinated family-centered service planning for children and youth with multiple and/or complex needs; Service planning coordinators will connect families to a range of services and supports and help the family to develop one coordinated service plan. An integrated approach to the delivery of rehabilitation services; Children and youth will receive seamless and effective speech language therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy services from birth through school exit. These services will be built around their goals for home, school and the community and be delivered in the way and in the place that meets the needs of the child and family.
