1. A revised model Child and Family Centre June 20 2013 DSB Special Needs Resourcing

2. Service Model - Goals  The goals are:  To support children with special needs by developing capacity in day cares  To improve access to consultation  To improve access to services from other service providers  To facilitate the transition of children with special needs across service systems  To explore the development of data collection and information system

3. Proposed Enhancements  One new SNR worker to cover the Sudbury- Manitoulin and Sudbury-East region (bringing staffing complement to 2.34 FT)  Enhanced funding at last year’s utilization levels but with new rates (actual rate) to day care providers  New funds for specialized equipment

4. Features of the New Model  To develop capacity we propose that a PFT Day Care Worker is attached to the child with SN while the position is backfilled with a casual or temporary Day Care Worker (may vary by Day Care)  The SNR Worker provides consultation, guidance and support to the Day Care staff attached to the child with special needs.  The SNR Worker provides a parenting program in a group format

5. System Collaborative  The Agency enters into discussion with community agencies to develop partnerships on consultation to children and care providers: CTC (physical), Wordplay (language), CCR (ASD) and CFC (MH), ICDS (development)  Where needed and feasible, the SNR Worker facilitates access to additional professional services

6. Data Collection  CFC will look at the feasibility of developing a data information system to improve tracking of children with SN  By day care  By region  Demographics  Service requirements and  Service outcomes
