About this event

Attendees will develop their understanding on the experiences of people who have disabilities, what services and supports are available, and how these can be navigated.

This month, Community Family Services Ontario will share information on navigating disability services for children, youth, and adults, as well as:

  • What is disability and the diagnosis process
  • Programs for children and teens with disabilities
  • Programs for adults with disabilities
  • Resources and support offered by the government and the availability in the community
  • Services available at CFSO

We aim to make this workshop accessible to all. If you there is any way we can support accessibility for you, please let us know.

Please note: this session will not be recorded.
