What is Resource Consultation Services?

We are child development specialists who provide support to infants, toddlers and children (up to 6 years of age) who have developmental support needs. As Resource Consultants (RCs) we provide a general consultation service to Licensed Childcare Centers/Programs as well as a direct service to children on caseload who attend a Licensed Childcare Center in Simcoe County. Each classroom of the Licensed childcare may access the support of the RC for general classroom strategies, resources and professional development opportunities. Children on RC caseload will also receive direct support through the sharing of development, goals and strategies specific to the child. During each scheduled visit to the classroom/program RCs will model, coach and teach strategies to Early Learning Professionals (childcare staff), working as a comprehensive team.

For Children on caseload, the RC will link in early intervention team members to provide individual programming as requested/required. Program plans and services may include speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational and behavioural therapy, vision, hearing, assessment, social work and feeding support. Throughout, we respect the values and choices of the family.

Resource Consultant services provide general consultation to licensed Before and After school programs in Simcoe county. Each location and classroom will have an RC assigned to them to provide general strategies, support sharing of community resources and activities to promote inclusion.

We have offices across the county in Midland, Alliston, Barrie, Bradford, Collingwood and Orillia.
