On May 18, 2005, as part of the transformation of
developmental services, the Ministry of Community and Social Services
(MCSS) announced that four networks of specialized care would be
established across the province. The purpose of the Networks is to
enhance service to adults with a developmental disability who need
specialized care for co-existing mental health and or/ behavioural
issues. In March, 2006, MCSS announced the lead agencies for the four
Networks:
- Northern Ontario – Hands TheFamilyHelpNetwork.ca
- Central Ontario (from Waterloo in the west to
Peterborough in the east, including Simcoe County and the Greater
Toronto Area) – Surrey Place Centre (Toronto), Community
Living Huronia (Pineview site), Trellis Mental Health and Developmental
Services (Guelph)
- Eastern Ontario (from Hastings County east to the
Quebec border and north to Renfrew County) – Ongwanada and
Prescott-Russell Services for Children and
Adults
- Southern Ontario (including the Hamilton and
Niagara regions and southwestern Ontario) – Bethesda and
Regional Support Associates
The Community Networks
of Specialized Care were created to ensure a system which
is:
- Accessible – so that people and their
caregivers/families can access the clinical services they need, when
and where they need them.
- Co-ordinated & Integrated – so
that the services and supports from a number of programs, organizations
and sectors are working together with people and their families to make
a difference.
- Accountable – so that we know the
networks are actually making a difference.
Specialized services are defined as clinical
services that utilize a biopsychosocial approach and focus on informed
practices. The continuum of services includes crisis response,
specialized case management, community-based clinical services, day
treatment, specialized residential accommodation and in-patient
hospital treatment. Clinical services are provided by qualified health
and allied health professionals. |

Kingston – Research indicates that persons with developmental disabilities, including a rapidly rising autism population, are about seven times more likely to come in contact with law enforcement professionals. Police and first response individuals will meet children and adults with autism in the field, so it's vital that they are prepared for these interactions.

| What's Up Doc? |
With the de-institutionalization movement more individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities will need to access various services within their communities. Many of these individuals have challenging behaviors and very complex medical needs. This series of workshops will provide strategies to maximize health care for individuals with developmental disabilities as they transition into their new communities.
What’s up, Doc?
As advocates for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we need to become more familiar with the various complex medical issues that can occur in these individuals. Pain is usually one of the first indicators of a medical problem, but it can be quite difficult to identify pain in the people we support. Often a challenging behavior may be the only way the person can communicate his discomfort or frustration. This workshop will examine various medical concerns, which may be masquerading as challenging behaviors in persons with developmental disabilities.
This session is also available in French.

| What Works in Therapy; Translating 40 Years of Outcome Research |
Dr. Scott D. Miller, Ph.D. is a co-founder of the Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change, a private group of clinicians and researchers dedicated to studying “what works” in mental health and substance abuse treatment. He works as a therapist providing all clinical services pro bono to traditionally under served clients. Dr. Miller conducts workshops and training in the United States and abroad and is known for his engaging and humorous presentation style. Workshop content:For today’s practitioner, finding reliable information about “what works” in therapy—separating fact from fiction—can be challenging. Since the 1960’s, the number of treatment approaches has exploded, going from 60 to over 400 at last count. So, “what works?” Drawing from a comprehensive review of 40 years of outcome research, Scott D. Miller, Ph.D. will identify core factors responsible for therapeutic success regardless of theoretical orientation or psychiatric diagnosis. The research on “what works” will be carefully translated into practical, common sense, and empirically-supported therapeutic skills that can be used for the efficient and effective resolution of problems clients bring to treatment.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will learn four evidence-based factors responsible for therapeutic success regardless of preferred theoretical orientation or treatment population.
- Participants will learn specific, empirically-supported practices to enhance the contribution of each factor.
- Participants will learn a simple, valid, and reliable method for assessing and enhancing alliance and progress in treatment.
