Service delivery expectations, Virtual care, Guidelines for Clients and Families Regarding Exclusion Due to Illness, Centre Closure Days, Health and Wellness, client rights, privacy Lansdowne Children's Centre service delivery Services and Programs Board of Directors Strategic Plan 2023+ How We Provide Service and Supports Lansdowne Children's Centre team members are guided by the principles of Family Centered Practice which means we treat families with dignity and respect, sensitive to your unique needs and choices in making decisions. This also means sharing information sensitively and providing service that takes into account family goals. We work to offer services flexibly, using formal and informal supports to build on family strengths. Through mutual trust, respect, open communication and finding solutions together we can best reach family goals. - Rita-Marie Hadley, Chief Executive Officer Client Orientation: Beginning your journey with Lansdowne Family Engagement After completing an intake interview with SmartStart Hub, new clients are provided a welcome email and digital copy of our Client Handbook—Start Here Guide. The content of your client handbook is available on our website as web pages that can be translated into alternative languages using Google Translate tools. The client handbook includes important information about client safety and privacy. New clients are also introduced to Lansdowne Family Engagement services , and have immediate access to attend events and access the resource library. Virtual/Remote Care At Lansdowne While many of our services are provided in person, Virtual Care service delivery is one option of getting services provided by Lansdowne Children’s Centre. Virtual Care Encounters (VCE) are sessions where service providers, clients, and/or families are not in the same place. At Lansdowne, we use Zoom, which meets healthcare privacy regulations. Children/youth/family and their service provider(s) can see and speak with each other while in different places. For client sessions, it is the expectation a family member will be with the child/youth during sessions. Just like face-to-face sessions, video VCE creates a safe and positive therapeutic experience for your child/youth, and activities are planned that are engaging, and that address your child/youth’s needs. VCE is also an alternate option for family sessions/meetings. Talk with your service provider about the best service option(s) for your children/youth/family . Do you need help with access to technology? Ask you service provider about our Tech-Sharing program. You may be eligible to borrow a device from Lansdowne Children's Centre.

Worth the Wait, Speech Interactions | Speech, EarlyYears, Kindergarten | Lansdowne Children's Centre Resource Library Worth the Wait, Speech Interactions You’ve probably heard that talking to your child is critical for their language development. But did you know that not talking sometimes is just as important? When children are learning to communicate, they need many opportunities to start interactions, and they often need extra time to send their messages. If adults do all of the talking, children don’t get a chance to start an interaction and they don’t have enough time to think before sending their message. That’s why one of the best things you can do during interactions with your child is to WAIT expectantly. This handout will help yourecognize the power of waiting, how to wait effectively, and what to look out for while you're waiting.
