Developmental Support Service Coordination Program - Dufferin Child and Family Services (DCAFS)

This program provides service coordination and support to any family or individual where the individual has been identified as having diagnosis of a developmental disability and/or autism. For a developmental disability this specifically means a sub-average general intellectual functioning with an IQ at or below 70 (2nd) percentile or lower) or a diagnosis of autism. It is a family centered service which assesses, plans, coordinates and identifies the needs of the individual and the community programs, resources and supports they may be eligible to access. Service is tailored to the individual and family circumstance. It is outcome focused with active participation by the family through service delivery.
