For families new to the Child Development Centre (CDC):
Depending on your child's needs, you will meet one or more of our staff who will provide an assessment of your child's abilities.
During this assessment, the staff will ask many questions. We would like to find out what your child's strengths and needs are in order to best help you and your child.
The results of the assessment will be reviewed with you and referrals will be made for needed services.
There are waiting lists for some therapy services, but we will make every effort to see your child as soon as possible.
We encourage you to request copies of reports and to keep them in a central file. This way you can provide information, at your discretion, to other agencies which may also be involved in your child's care.
If we think other community programs or agencies may be able to help your child, we will provide you with their names and telephone numbers.
