The Government of Nova Scotia has announced a new partnership with Dalhousie University to provide supports for people with disabilities in the region. Dal will host one of the province’s four disability support outreach teams and provide support for clinical education and training, while NS will provide funding and operational supports. The team will provide treatment; skill development; and coaching for families, caregivers, and support providers. “By bringing our existing clinic together with provincially funded interprofessional health services, we are expanding access to co-ordinated, person-centred care while deepening hands-on learning opportunities for students across health disciplines,” explained Dal Faculty of Health Dean Brenda Merritt.
