Southern Network of Specialized Care

The Southern Network of Specialized Care (SNSC) is part of a provincial collaboration of the Community Networks of Specialized Care (CNSC).

They provide a way of linking specialized services and professionals to develop complex support plans for adults who have developmental disabilities with high support and complex needs.

To access these services, contact Developmental Services Ontario.

Key Functions and Roles

Complex Support Coordination and Health Care Facilitation:

These provide coordinating supports and services within and across sectors to address people’s complex support needs, acting as a natural resource to service agencies, the (DSO) Developmental Services Ontario, and local system planning tables, including the urgent response and service solutions/case resolutions.

We build capacity through education, mentoring, and support to other case managers and service agencies.

The goal is to provide direct case management support for adults with developmental disabilities who have high-support and complex care needs that exceed the available transitional supports and services and require coordination with inter-ministry service providers/partners.

Dual Diagnosis Justice Case Management:

Cross-sector coordination support to divert people with a developmental disability or dual diagnosis in conflict with the law, where appropriate, through securing services or treatment in place of the usual criminal justice proceedings of the trial and/or incarceration.

You may access the Dual Diagnosis Justice Case Management program directly at 1.800.789.1773 or through the DSO at 1.877.376.4674.
