ICAN Program (Inclusion for Children with Additional Needs)

The iCAN program (Inclusion for Children with Additional Needs) is a Resource Consultation service for families and their children (up to 12yrs) with additional needs who are attending licensed child care settings in Dufferin County. iCAN helps to ensure that all children have an opportunity to learn, grow and participate fully in all aspects of the child care program.

iCAN works in partnership with a variety of service providers to provide a holistic, strength-based approach to enhance skills & strategies, and offer information and resources that support the healthy development of children within childcare environments.  To be eligible, children must reside and attend a licensed childcare program in Dufferin County, be between 0-12yrs of age, and be presenting with an additional need in one or more areas (i.e., physical, social-emotional, developmental, behavioural).
