Exciting New Developments for #Child #Development #Support in #Ontario! I just learned some fantastic news that I think is worth sharing! The Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services (MCCSS) has updated the Special Services at Home (SSAH) program to incorporate CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research’s F-Words in Child Development framework. With this new alignment, families can now tailor their SSAH funding to activities that truly resonate with their children's interests and developmental needs. For example, funding for summer camps can be categorized under “Fun,” or social activities under “Friends,” making it easier to support our children in ways that are meaningful to them. This exciting development wouldn’t be possible without the leadership of CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research, with the backing of Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) and Brain Canada, these F-Words are being integrated into real-world support systems. Updated SSAH Guidelines : https://lnkd.in/eWUj4CJr F-Words Project Details : https://lnkd.in/e9fA_Dah #ChildDevelopment #FWords #SSAH #MCCSS #KBHN #BrainCanada #CanChild #InnovationToImpact #Ontario

The Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Network has released a white paper for Foundational Supports and the Disability Ecosystem for Children with Developmental Concerns, Delays, Differences and Disabilities: Principles, Best Practices and Solutions. This Network is made up of 19 not-for-profit child and family organisations that provide early childhood intervention services and/or early childhood education with an average of 55 years of experience; and SDN is proud to be one of the founding members. The paper emphasises the need for a distinct model of foundational and disability supports for children under the age of 16, based on best practices in early childhood intervention and tailored to the ages and stages of the child. This model recognises how critical the first five years of a child’s life are for development. The paper is intended to inform policy-makers and decision-makers regarding observations ‘on the ground’ from the community-based not-for-profit perspective, primarily in NSW. These observations are made from our direct, collective, and extensive history in supporting children and families in the community. The paper summarises our recommendations and outlines possible solutions to constructively contribute toward shaping a future service system that is aligned to the ‘Best Practice Guidelines’ in Early Childhood Intervention.

Estate Planning Legal Counsel that focuses on keeping families out of court and conflict | Legacy Planning | Heir Protection | Trusted Legal Advisor
🌍 "The Critical Importance of Estate Planning for Children with Developmental Disabilities" With the rising number of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities, the need for specialized future planning becomes more pressing. Recent CDC data shows that nearly 1 in 11 children are diagnosed with such conditions, presenting unique challenges for families. For parents, ensuring their child's well-being now and in the future is paramount. Estate planning takes on a new level of importance if you have a child who may not be able to fully care for themselves. Special needs trusts are key tools in this journey. They're designed to supplement public assistance benefits, covering expenses that enhance the quality of life while respecting the individuality of the child. The trust requires a trusted individual to manage the funds, and its structuring is crucial to avoid disqualifying the child from government assistance. When planning, thoughtful decisions about trustees and asset allocation are essential. Open, transparent communication within the family is vital to prevent misunderstandings. If you suspect your child will always need support, consider setting up a special needs trust, even without a formal diagnosis. It's not just about legalities; it's about love, care, and ensuring dignity for your child's life. #estateplanning #specialneedstrust #familycare #specialneedsplanning #wills #texaslawyer 💕📝

Child- and family-serving professionals often work with vulnerable children and youth—those who have or are at risk of developmental disabilities or delays. Early identification of developmental disabilities or delays is critical for a child’s #health and well-being. When disabilities and delays are caught early, steps can be taken to improve the child’s short- and long-term outcomes. Early identification and intervention can also reduce family stress and ensure that #parents have the help they need to support their children effectively. Providers play an important role in this effort.

Parent voice is so valuable.

Area of Priority: Supporting the family to support the child – Family Partnership Workers Purpose: We want to hear YOUR experiences to make sure our conversations with the Government lead to the continual improvement of this vital service. Family Partnership Worker: Our parents highly value this service as a 'lifeline' while navigating the system alongside the complexities of family life. Our Early Years Pod parents have identified that the opt in/opt out system of the service poses challenges. Families in crisis need immediate support, yet they have faced waiting up to 12 weeks for support.

It's Training Tuesday! Approximately 30-60% of children and youth in foster care have an intellectual or developmental disability (IDD). Unfortunately, most resource parents do not receive training to support the special needs of this population. Our Center's training, "A Resource Parent’s Guide to Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)," provides basic background information about IDD, the services you may need as a resource parent and where to find them and best practices for parenting a child or youth with IDD.
