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.
Developmental Services 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
We are preparing to pilot our model for Coordinated Service Planning in Waterloo Region with a small number of families, beginning in January 2018. We will be expanding this service to families by June 2018.
