Early Intervention Program
Social Workers for the Early Intervention Therapy Program at the BC Centre for Ability offer services to children with developmental concerns or disabilities, and their families. Social workers work collaboratively with speech-language pathologists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to support families through the psychosocial and emotional aspects of caring for a child with special needs, in order to increase their ability to participate in family and community. When social work services are requested by the family, social workers will become a part of the therapy team.
Social Work for Early Intervention Therapy may be requested by families who have interest in consultation and support in the following areas:
- Counseling regarding the impact of the child's special needs or disability;
- Managing the emotional demands and stresses of family life;
- Transitioning to/from daycare, preschool and kindergarten;
- Identifying available resources and funding sources;
- Dealing with family to family connections;
- Planning, coordinating and navigating services.
