Low Barrier Sample Clauses
A Low Barrier clause is designed to minimize obstacles or requirements for a party to access a service, product, or benefit.

Non-clinical service: include all other services that a child receives. This includes, cultural services, life skills and educational services, social emotional services and supports provided by non-clinical professionals, day-to-day care, recreation services etc. At times, it is likely that a non-clinical service provider will be asked to support the day-to-day needs of a clinical plan, but they are not clinicians. For example, a day-day SHSS Care Provider may be asked to support a child’s physiotherapy Goals with daily supported exercise;
