I need some assistance in finding a full time residential resource/foster home to support a 13-year-old female with a dual sensory impairment of Deaf blindness.
She is also diagnosed with ADHD, mild CP, developmental disability and behavioural issues. This child attends the BC school for Deaf in Burnaby and the plan is for her to continue in that high school. This child has some behaviours, which are under review by a psychiatrist and these may be managed by meds in the next little while. This child needs to have a new home by the end of July and we are willing to prioritize the homestudy for viable applicants. The caregiver we are looking for needs to have the skill of communicating in ASL as this is the language the child uses to communicate all her needs; they also need to have some experience/skills to work with children and youth with special needs.
If you are interested in becoming a home for this child or would like additional information, please contact me at: email maninder.sidhu@gov.bc.ca. or call me at 604-951-5701.
