MFTD Respite
MFTD Respite is designed specifically to support children and youth who are deemed Medically Fragile and/or Technologically Dependent by a care coordinator through Ontario Health at Home(OHH). MFTD Respite Initiative provides families with approximately 3 hours of out-of-home respite each week with a 1:1 Community Inclusion Worker. The program strives to engage children and youth in various social, recreational, and educational activities that promote skill development and community participation. The goal of the initiative is that children and youth who are deemed MFTD are successfully included in their community, which is accomplished through setting goals together with the families and children.
