Child Development Centre (CDC)
If you are looking to have you child assessed and diagnosed, one option is to ask your physician for a referral to Child Development Centre (note: this may take up to a year). Child Development Services (CDS) is a multidisciplinary tertiary service for children from birth to 18 years of age that present with multiple and complex developmental, behavioural and learning challenges. The overarching goal of CDS is to provide diagnostic clarity, recommendations* and information. CDS works closely with children and families, community resources, educational supports and other AHS services to help children reach their full potential. *treatment may be available for children from birth to 5 years of age.

Family to Family Connections - Peer Support
Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who's been there. Through Family to Family Connections you can connect one on one with a family member who has significant experience with their child's or their own health need or disability. They are ready to listen, share their experiences, and direct you to appropriate information and resources. If you'd like to be connected to a family, all you need to do is call or email the Family to Family Connections Coordinator at 403-955-7187 or [email protected].
