Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Programs

Bethesda is a proud partner of the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) Early Years Collaborative led by McMaster Children’s Hospital.

Together with the Niagara Children’s Centre, Haldimand-Norfolk REACH, Six Nations Health Services and Lansdowne Children’s Centre, Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Programs support families with young children between the ages of 12 and 48 months.

Services focus on building caregiver capacity to support their child’s skill development in one or more of the following areas: social interaction, play, communication, emotional development, adaptive development and self-help skills.

Families can contact Bethesda to learn about their service options in the Niagara Region. Eligible families will receive an invitation from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) to access a Caregiver-Mediated Program.

For more information, contact one of our Service Coordinators by calling 905.684.6918 ext. 170, or sending an email to serviceinfo@bethesdaservices.com
