Relief Services

Program Overview

Relief services offered by the Centre include community aide supports, respite and work-related care, these services may be accessed only by families that are currently registered or are graduates from the Home Based Intervention program. Community aides are intended to assist the child with community activities and participation. Respite is intended to provide the family with relief from the day-to-day demands of caring for a child with special needs. Work-related care is intended to provide the closer supervision requirements of the child with special needs.

All of these services are contractually dependent on individual client contracts with FSCD. Through negotiation with FSCD, specific aide support funding can be used to access the various groups offered by the Centre as well.
