Clients are aged 0 to 18 years and live on the island of Montreal.
They experience developmental delays on a number of levels that affect gross motor skills or fine motor skills, along with speech, language or cognitive development delays. The delay must be significant enough to qualify as a “developmental disorder” at the time of registration to the program.
The child must live in one of the following CSSS areas:
-
North of the Island and St. Laurent
-
Ahuntsic and Montreal North
-
Petite-Patrie and Villeray
-
Plateau-Mont-Royal and St. Louis du Parc
-
St. Leonard and St. Michel
-
Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Rosemont
-
Rivière-des-Prairies, Mercier East, Anjou and Montreal East
Children are generally under the age of 6 years. The origin of their disorder remains most often unclear. For other children, the developmental disorder is attributed to a genetic syndrome or premature birth.
