FFS FOUNDATIONAL FAMILY SERVICE Both the Early Identification, Early Intervention, Outreach (EIEIO) and Acton Elementary Day Treatment Programs are run in partnership with the Halton District School Board and works with the other Halton School Boards. They take place in a school classroom. The teacher is an employee of the school board and offers academic programming. The main focus of the program is treatment. The EIEIO program is for children aged 6-8 and their families who live in Burlington or Oakville. The Acton Elementary Day Treatment program is for children aged 7-10 and their families who live anywhere in Halton. Both programs offer learning experiences and treatment designed to support young children and their families. They are designed to help children with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties in school and-or at home. The programs also help families build on their strengths, skills, and relationships. The focus of both programs is to help the child increase their positive functioning so that they can go back to their home school. Programs include, building social skills, parenting strategies and support, working with home schools to support the child’s return, working with community services if child and family are involved in other services, recreational activities, and healthy eating and nutrition education.
