The development of the toolkits reflected Interviews with parents in which they said that it would be helpful if those supporting them and their child had more understanding about the child’s condition and the challenges families face when seeking services.  They also wanted these support workers, including navigators, to be aware of strategies to address these challenges. These toolkits have been designed to address these issues. It consists of 6 modules: 3 providing basic information about Autism, Cerebral Palsy and FASD, and 3 cross-disability modules. The cross-disability modules address key areas of challenge, specifically: NDDs and Mental Health, Pathways to Support, and Transitions.“
