Children with Special Needs

Some children are born with special needs or a special need is identified as the child grows.

Consult with your doctor if you have concerns. If your child is in school, speak to his/her teacher or principal who can assist you in accessing specialized services.

You may also contact one of the agencies listed on the Agency Referral List (specific to Region of Waterloo including Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and the townships of Wilmot, Wellesley, Woolwich and North Dumfries), or on the accompanying list Service Pathway created for the purpose of following a path from developmental screening to identification of primary concern(s) to intervention/treatment. 

For more information and to speak to a Public Health Nurse, please call the Healthy Children Info Line at 519-883-2245.
