In response to the waitlist being implemented this month, we have updated the “Waitlist Info Flyer” that we created in 2024. This can be shared with families to help them understand why it exists and how they can advocate. The flyer also contains a QR code to collect stories to help with our advocacy. These stories can be submitted directly by families and/or by Support Coordinators. The more stories we receive, the better we can advocate. Thanks for your help!Type your paragraph here.
