NETWORK E-BULLETIN - MAY 2010 EDITION

Free Information Fair in York Region on Tuesday May 18th

Working Together For Kids & Teens with Multiple Special Needs… Children’s Treatment Network is a new service delivery model for kids with multiple special needs in Simcoe and York. It links over 50 healthcare, education, recreation, social and community services organizations so they can take a team approach to each child’s care. For the first time, parents have one point of contact for a single plan of care for kids from birth to age 19. The Network coordinates services needed and monitors each child’s progress through all the phases of their development. The Network is also expanding services that are critically needed in the community to bring more services closer to home and help reduce waitlists. Parents and professionals can contact the Network by calling 1-866-377-0286 or online at www.ctn-simcoeyork.ca
