Autism Services

Psychoeducational assessments are used to identify areas of strength and need in a student’s learning profile allowing for a deeper understanding of their educational abilities.  It may also be used to a make a decision as to whether their challenges in school can be accounted for by additional diagnoses such as Specific Learning Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or Intellectual Developmental Disorder.  Recommendations are made to enable students to access appropriate academic accommodations and supports at school, home, and in the community.

Our expert program staff will discuss resources and supports available in the community and/or help you complete funding forms.

Filling out funding applications can be difficult. This workshop provides a step-by-step review of completing the Special Services at Home (SSAH) funding application. The SSAH program supports families who are caring for a child with a developmental disability and/or a physical disability. The funding for this program can be used towards personal development and growth and/or family relief and support. The amount of funding a family receives is dependent on the type and amount of service the child requires, what other assistance is available in the community, and what kind of support is already being received by the family.

This workshop will provide strategies for parents and caregivers to help structure the summer break so that children have a successful transition back to school in September. Topics will include building positive routines, using visuals, getting involved in the community, and considering screen time.
