Welcome

You are on the home page of our website.

Service Coordination Support (SCS) is the initial contact for people who have a developmental disability or autism in Ottawa and the Eastern Region. We help people find available resources in the community that are needed to assist them in their daily lives. One of our important goals is to empower families/individuals to make informed choices about the supports they seek.

You can learn more about our role by visiting our About us section.

Summer Camps 2025
For Children

Summer camps offer unique opportunities for growth

Summer camps offer the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs, such as summer sports (like horseback riding), science, arts, and more!

At SCS, we can help families explore summer camp options that may be of interest to them. To that end, each year we create a list of summer camps that families can use to find out which camps meet their needs and to get more information.

There are important points to consider before getting started

Are you interested in opening new services for adults, such as:

  • Community participation services and supports

We have published a new resource on our website to share information and requirements if you are considering opening these types of services.

While launching these services requires following the same steps as any other service, from planning to launch, they also have specific requirements that need to be taken into account. Information on these requirements is provided in this resource.
