When people are referred to SMD, Case Managers work with them to develop a plan and to initiate referrals throughout the agency and community for service as required. Case managers co-ordinate, monitor, evaluate, counsel, and advocate to ensure that services are both timely and effective. Adults with a permanent or chronic physical, neurological or hearing disability which affects them on a daily basis are eligible for service. Financial Assistance Case Managers access financial support for adults for employment and education related disability needs including tuition where a clearly defined employment goal is identified. Wage subsidies are also available to facilitate employment.
Case Managers access financial support for children for appropriate habilitative services.
A week long ASL immersion program is provided annually in Thompson for families, staff of social service organizations, businesses and interested community members.
