2025 SUMMEr camps are now live
Family Support Work Program
The program supports children with a diagnosed Developmental Disability (intellectual disability), Autism Spectrum Disorder, or children assessed as eligible for the At Home Program and their families.
Eligibility for the program is determined by the Ministry of Children and Family Development staff – Children and Youth with Special Needs (MCFD/CYSN) and they manage the wait-list. Entry into the program is determined primarily by CYSN staff with input from the Insight Program Coordinator and Director(s). Priority is determined based on a combination of urgency rating and time wait-listed.
The service provides time-limited, goal-focused service to enhance life skills and independence of children and youth and to assist families with strategies and approaches with their child that will help to preserve family integrity.
Family Support Workers work with families and children/youth for a specified number of hours per week in direct contact with children and/or their families working toward goals identified in a written service agreement.
Services are usually provided in a one-to-one format but are also, on a limited basis, done in group settings.
Can DO It Program
The Can Do It program is designed to support youth with developmental exceptionalities between the ages of 13 and 18 in learning essential work, social, and life skills.
The program is offered at the INSIGHT SUPPORT SERVICES location (Tuesday or Thursday) and runs from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
The youth participate in various skill-building activities, such as cooking, art projects, and team-building games. These activities require the youth to develop a plan, organize the materials, and complete the project or activity cooperatively. There is an emphasis on social communication skills, consensus building, conflict resolution skills, and executive functioning skills to prepare the youth for vocational settings.
A snack is provided, and the youth are asked to bring a reusable water bottle.
The program participants are to be dropped off and picked up from the Insight Support Services office's front entrance. Transportation support is available in exceptional circumstances and depends on the number and needs of the current participants.
Participants must be referred to the program by the CYSN Team.
