Children with Special Needs

Persons with Special Needs Resource Directory

Over the past several years a group of community service providers and parents through the Child Development Centre and the Children First Initiative have been working together to create the Prince George Persons with Special Needs Resource Directory. This directory consists of resources for children that are between the ages of birth to nineteen. The directory will assist you with finding resources for your child with special needs ranging from daycare, early intervention to transportation. Another resource that may be helpful to you is the Resource Guide from the At Home Program. Click here to view.
