The unique Family Support for Children with Disabilities Act is better for families because it:
- Provides supports to families including while their child is awaiting a formal diagnosis
- Recognizes the needs of families, not just the needs of the child
- Promotes better co-ordination and integration of services
- Improves families' access to information
- Recognizes families as partners in the planning and decision-making process regarding services that will best meet their needs
- Ensures greater consistency in families' access to support and services across the province
- Recognizes and respects the ability and responsibility of families as the primary source of care and support for their child.
For more information on a wide range of government and community supports, services and resources for children with disabilities and their families, call
