As part of the Integration Study a survey on service
utilization was sent to families of young children
with special needs. Our purpose was to:
learn more about the services that these families
actually received
determine how they accessed needed services
identify any problems or concerns related
to their use of services.
Parents of young children who were receiving services
from four specialty centres in our study regions
participated in this survey. The specialty centres
were:
Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton,
Alberta
Child and Adolescent Services Association
(CASA) in Edmonton, Alberta
R.E.A.C.H. (Resource, Education And Counselling
Help) in Haldimand-Norfolk, Ontario
Chedoke Child and Family Centre in Hamilton,
Ontario.
Surveys were sent out to each family who had received
services in one of the participating clinics between
October 1, 2000 and October 1, 2002 and whose child
was born after October 1, 1996.
We would like to thank all the families who completed
the surveys and the clinic staff who sent out the
surveys.
