Circle of Support program provides support, training and education to individuals, families and service providers impacted by Complex Developmental Behavioural Conditions (CDBCs) including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.

Our goal is to support parents and care givers to develop strategies to deal with CDBC behaviors and to support individuals living with CDBCs to realize their full potential and develop self-advocacy skills.

CDBC describes when an individual has an array of complex needs with two or more areas being significantly affected. These areas are social emotional functioning, communication, physical functioning, independence and intellectual or academic functioning.
