Aboriginal Infant Development Program

The Aboriginal Infant Development Program (AIDP) in British Columbia provides culturally relevant supports and services to families of children up to age 3 who have or are at risk of developmental delays. Participation in the Aboriginal IDP is voluntary and family centered.

Currently, there are 28 AIDPs serving Aboriginal children and families in BC. AIDP Consultants support families and children by offering:

• Home visits, playgroups, parent education opportunities, parent support groups, and networking of parents;
• Assistance in planning family activities to encourage healthy development of their child;
• A variety of resources which are available online at: http://www.aidp.bc.ca/links.html;
• Screening and assessment that is culturally sensitive and meaningful; and
• Information about other health, social and community services.
