How do I know if my Child Needs Help?

These may be some of the difficulties:
  • seems intelligent but talks very poorly or not at all
  • does not have age appropriate communication skills
  • will not listen to parents or teachers
  • shows no affection
  • is unusually aggressive to other children and adults and may become a danger to self and others
  • cannot get along in preschool, daycare or kindergarten
  • is disorganized and constantly on the move
  • is exceptionally shy and clinging
  • has tantrums which control or disrupt the rest 

How Do I Access SCEP Services?

Parents can contact SCEP directly. Other agencies/professionals can make referrals. The next step is to hold an intake interview which always includes parents/guardians and the child.

What is the Cost?

SCEP is a fee for service program. Staff make every effort to assist families in obtaining funding for fees. Fees may be available through: Ministry of Social Services (MSS) or school boards. On occasion scholarship funds may be available or fees may be waived.
