RMCDC is a community-based agency providing early intervention services to children, youth, and their families in the communities of Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and Katzie First Nation. Our Key Workers work as part of an interdisciplinary team, following a community-based, family-centered model, and collaborate with both our RMCDC-based therapists as well as providers from various community agencies.

In addition, Key Workers facilitate caregiver support groups; one for families of elementary-aged children (6-12 years) with diagnoses of ADHD, the second for families raising children with FASD and related conditions.
