children and youth services

 If you are concerned about your child’s development, the Infant  Development Program can help. The Infant Development Program serves  children from birth to three years old who are at risk for, or who  already have a delay in development. Programs are available throughout  British Columbia. Each program brings parents and professionals together  to help children overcome developmental difficulties.  Once you are referred to a program, a consultant will visit you in your  home. Together, you will plan activities that best meet both your  child’s and your family’s needs. If your child has a disability (special  need), up-to-date information will be available to you.  

As a parent, you may contact the Infant Development Program directly, or you may be referred by:

• A doctor
• A public health nurse, or
• A community professional
