- Leadership across community, regional and provincial levels
- Capacity building and evidence-based service delivery
- Focused research and exchange
- Stakeholder collaboration
The members of the Specialized Clinical DS Network provide clinical leadership and are committed to working collaboratively to transform health and social services to improve the quality of life and safeguard people with intellectual disabilities or autism presenting with complex needs, mental health conditions or behaviour that challenges; to ensure better outcomes by the development of high-quality person centered supports that promotes choice and control for people with IDD’s. Specialized Clinical DS Network develops and shares resources including white papers: Responding to the Individualized Funding Environment and Reimagining Specialized Developmental Services in Ontario.
