FamilyCompassWR.ca is designed to help you find the best service provider as a starting point to support concerns in a child or youth's development. Since some children, youth and families benefit from services delivered by more than one organization, service providers in Waterloo Region work together to provide as family-centred and seamless an experience as we can.
Coordinated Service Planning (CSP) is a key part of Ontario's Special Needs Strategy that builds on our existing foundation of family-centred, coordinated and effective support and care, across organizations and schools. Coordinated Service Planning in Waterloo Region piloted the program from January 2018 to July 2018, with a small number of families. The program is now recieving referrals from partner organizations and the larger community.
Sunbeam Developmental Resource Centre is the Coordinating Agency for CSP in Waterloo Region and works with local organizations and schools in the community to meet family needs.
Coordinated Service Planning will:
- Improve the service experience for all families of children/youth with multiple and/or complex special needs
- Connect your child/youth to the services they require as early as possible
- Monitor your child's/youth's needs and progress through a Coordinated Service Plan
- Build on existing coordination and collaboration in Waterloo Region
