Support for People with Developmental Disabilities

The Burnaby Division of Family Practice and the Burnaby Primary Care Networks have created resources to improve experiences of medical visits for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

We have adapted resources from SurreyPlace by working with self-advocates, doctors and others. The forms will help you feel more prepared for medical visits and improve communication with your medical providers, including doctors and other clinicians.  

These forms can be used by anyone who would like to improve communication at their medical visits. This may include people with disabilities, older adults, people with complex conditions, or who experience language barriers.  

You can print the forms to complete by hand, or you can download them to fill in electronically. If you are sending the forms to your provider by email, consider password protecting the completed forms for your privacy. Please ask for help to fill the forms out if you need it.
