Portage is a home-visiting service for pre-school children who have special needs. It is based on the common sense principle that parents are the key figures in the care and development of their child.

Portage assesses the needs of pre-school children, including those with physical difficulties, and then, in partnership with parents, builds on the abilities the child already has, teaching skills the child has yet to master. A Portage team of home visitors offers a carefully structured, but flexible system to help parents become effective teachers of their own children.
