PROGRAMS AND SERVICESWHEN YOUR BABY NEEDS EXTRA HELPIf 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. Community referrals As a parent, you may contact the Infant Development Program directly, or you may be referred by a:
