Caregivers are a child’s most important teacher. Their relationship is an important factor in the success of a child’s development. At Surrey Place, we understand how essential it is to involve families and caregivers in that journey.
Our Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Services support families with young children ages 12 to 48 months (4 years). These services, which include home-based programs, help young children learn new skills and meet individualized development goals.
Additionally, families and caregivers learn therapeutic strategies and techniques from professionals based on their child’s individual needs. The goal of these programs and services is to build the capacity of families and caregivers to support their child’s skill development in the following areas:
- Communication
- Social interaction
- Play
- Emotional development
- Adaptive development and self-help skills
Early Years Services are available to all families registered with the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) at no cost and are available for up to six months per child.
