Disability Services Minister Don Punch has today presented a Lotterywest grant of $381,535 to Kiind, a not-for-profit organisation that supports parents and carers of children with developmental delay or disability.
The funding will go towards a pilot program that provides easily accessible information for parents who are raising a child aged 0-8 years in the early stages of their disability journey.
Outcomes for children with developmental delay or disability often rely on the capacity of parents and caregivers to seek a diagnosis for their child, build an understanding of the diagnosis, and get the right supports in place during the early years of childhood development.
