Foundational Family Services

Foundational Family Services offer a variety of tailored service options free of charge to families registered with the Ontario Autism Program.

Brief Targeted Consultation

Brief Targeted Consultations are provided by a member of our Autism and Behaviour Team. Therapists will work with your family to address one specific goal in a time sensitive manner. This service is not to address challenging behaviours or self-injurious behaviours.

Transitional Supports

Transitional supports provide access to a variety of resources to assist in preparation of any upcoming transitions. Transitions big or small, sometimes require a little bit of extra support. Family Support staff are available to assist with any implementation challenges.

Family Resource Clinics

Family Resource clinic days are designed to be a ‘one stop shop’ in beginning your Autism Services Journey. Our team can support in accessing information, funding, navigating available services and development of antecedent strategies.

Seminars and Workshops

A series of pre-recorded seminars available on an as needed basis. Various topics cover subjects across all developmental domains as well as serve as an introduction to Autism and Behaviour Services. Access to a Therapist for individual follow up coaching sessions available upon request.

Individual and group workshops are also available in a live or virtual setting. Workshops and seminars cover topics such as; Introduction to Autism Spectrum Disorder, Introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis, Challenging Behaviour, Toileting, Sexuality and many more.
