  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
