Eligibility for Children/Youth

 

How does my child receive services from BeConnected?

Children and youth under 19 years of age are referred to BeConnected by the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).

Eligibility for services is determined by MCFD and must meet the criteria for Children and Youth with Support Needs (CYSN) services. This may include children and youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), hearing or vision loss, complex health needs, or intellectual disabilities.

More information about MCFD eligibility and supports can be found here.

If your child is already connected with MCFD services, the first step is to contact your MCFD social worker to discuss a referral.

All services are funded through MCFD, and there are no additional fees for families.

Children and youth may access services until 19 years of age. Beginning at age 17½, BeConnected works with families to begin planning for the transition into adulthood and adult services.
