Supported Child Development Program:
Supports community preschools and daycares, which may require additional help to meet the needs of children in their settings.

Looking for resources to assist with advocating for your child in the school setting? Check out the Family Support Institute BC and their School Meeting Toolkit.

Do you know who the members of your child's school team are? It's important to build a strong relationship with them—after all, you are working together to ensure your child with support needs thrives in a learning environment often not designed around them.

As you navigate the school year, you may be frequently corresponding with your child's school team, from teachers to principals, counselors to specialists. Our 4-part Toolkit resource on School Meetings offers a step-by-step guide through this process.

In this Toolkit set, you will learn about:
Part 1: How to Write an Email to Call a Meeting
Part 2: Preparing for Your Meetings
Part 3: How to Run a Productive Meeting
Part 4: What to Do After the Meeting
