Up to 21 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families in the communities of North Battleford, Regina and Saskatoon will benefit from $322,300 in new funding from the Government of Saskatchewan.
"As awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder increases, we are seeing earlier diagnoses, resulting in a need for intensive supports for families of children who have not yet started school," Education Minister Ken Krawetz said. "This new funding will help ensure that children diagnosed with ASD reach their best potential."
"The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the need to provide high quality services to our province's children and their families," Heath Minister Don McMorris said. "We are pleased to support programs and services that help children and their families live with Autism Spectrum Disorder."
This investment includes $150,000 in ongoing funding to Early Childhood Intervention Programs (ECIPs) for increasing services for children and their families. A one-time grant of $172,300 will be provided to the Saskatoon Region ECIP to develop, coordinate and deliver two professional learning conferences on ASD for the preK-12 and Early Learning and Child Care sectors.
The new funding will allow ECIPs in North Battleford, Regina and Saskatoon to provide intensive, home-based support to five to seven families in each ECIP region. Through the ECIP, an Autism Early Childhood Consultant will work with children from birth to age five who are diagnosed with ASD, or who are awaiting diagnosis, and the child's family. The consultant will help both the child and family meet goals such as increasing communication skills, improving cognitive skills and improving fine and gross motor skills.
ECIPs are a province-wide network of community-based supports for families of children who experience or are at risk for developmental delays.
