Child Care Support Services - Halton

Erinoakkids’ Child Care Support Services Halton (CCSS-H) team is comprised of Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists who consult to child care centres in the Region of Halton.

Our role is to support educators’ understanding and use of strategies to enhance children’s participation in play, interactions, daily activities, and routines.

The team works collaboratively with child care centre staff, Resource Consultants and a variety of community partners to meet the inclusion needs of all children.
