Step 1: Researching an Agency
Children’s Treatment Network (CTN)
CTN assists more than 26,000 children and adolescents with impairments and developmental
needs.
Mission
Together with our partners, we work with kids, youth, and their families to support development
and well-being.
Programs
We offer several interventions, including
● Augmentative Communication:
● Diagnostic Medical and Consultation Services (DMCS)
● Equipment Loan Program
● Family Mentor Program
● Feeding
● Physiotherapy
● Medical, speech, and/or occupational therapy
● School-Based Rehabilitation Services
● SmartStart Hub
Targeted Population
CTN helps kids and teens from birth to age 19 who need long-term help for various diseases,
disabilities, and developmental needs (or until they graduate high school).

Values
Inclusion: Build a sense of belonging and champion equity for everyone.
Collaboration: Evolve by working together, supporting one another, and having fun.
Responsibility: Provide services in the best way possible through exceptional accountability and
stewardship practices.
Innovation: Lead with creativity and agility when exploring new and responsive ways to grow
and change.
Conclusion
From the research carried out on CTN, it appears that an integrative team and family members
create a childcare plan depending on the unique needs of each child, which goes to show the
level of care and effort CTN puts in. But there was no evidence to show that the psychosocial
QoL of children who got CTN integrated care was significantly better than that of children who
got regular care.
