WHEN YOUR BABY NEEDS EXTRA HELP
If you are concerned about your child's development, the Infant
Development Program (IDP) can help.
IDP serves children from birth to three years old, who are at
risk for, or who already have, a delay in development.
Programs are available throughout BC. Each program brings
parents and professionals together to help children overcome
developmental difficulties.
All our programs are "family centered". This means that you, the
parents, decide on what kind of support you need.
Families play a vital role in every child's development. From
birth to three years, a child develops at a rapid pace. Physical,
social, emotional, behavioral, communication and intellectual
development depend in part on experiences provided by the infant's
family.
Once you are referred to a program, a consultant will visit you
in your home. Together, you will plan activities that best meet
both your child's and your family's needs. If your child has a
disability (special need), up-to-date information will be available
to you.
Infant Development Consultants are professionals. They have
skills and knowledge in child development, and can assist you to
enhance your child's development in these important years.
Your participation is voluntary and free of charge. The Ministry
of Children and Family Development of BC supports the programs.

directly, or you may be referred by a:
- Doctor

activities
