Find help

Every person with autism is different. Each one has a different set of physical, emotional, behavioural and social issues.

It's important to match your child's needs with treatments and strategies that will help your child. You may have to try a variety of treatments to find out what's effective for your child.

The Ministry of Children and Youth Services funds a range of services and supports for children and youth with autism.

Autism Intervention Program

Depending on how severe your child's disorder is, your doctor or psychologist may refer you to a regional autism service provider for Intensive Behavioural Intervention.

ABA-based services

Your child may also benefit from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)-based services and supports that build skills and reinforce positive behaviour.

Transition Supports for Adolescents

These community-based programs help teenagers with autism spectrum disorders.

Respite Services

Respite services provide families with temporary relief.

School Support Program - Autism Spectrum Disorders
