Funding can be used to pay for a worker for your child and enable them to be as active in the community as possible! There are many programs and services to help children with special needs and their families. Each program has its own eligibility requirements. Click the following link for information on the application process. It's best to get started on this as soon as your child enters Secondary school in order to have the funding in place once they graduate!&nbsp;</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <a href="http://www.children.gov.on.ca/htdocs/English/topics/specialneeds/index.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.children.gov.on.ca/htdocs/English/topics/specialneeds/index.aspx</a></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> Geoff Adamsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08325212745937426015noreply@blogger.com0
