Eligibility for Children/Youth

 

How does my child receive services from BeConnected?

Children and youth under 19 years of age are referred to BeConnected by the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).

Eligibility for children and youth services is determined by MCFD and must meet the requirements for MCFD’s Children and Youth with Support Needs services. This may include those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, hearing/vision loss, complex health needs, and Intellectual Disabilities.

 

More information about MCFD eligibility can be found here.

 

For children and youth who are already accessing Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) supports, your first step is to contact your MCFD social worker for assistance with transition. All funding is provided by MCFD, there are additional fees for families.

 

Children and youth can receive services until 19 years of age. At age 17 and a half BeConnected Support Services will prompt families to start planning for the individual’s transition.
