Autism Services

Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) ® Training  is an evidence-based, naturalistic developmental behavioural intervention for children with autism up to age 12 years. This training  includes 2 group sessions for parents/caregivers and 4 individual consultation sessions that involve both child and parent/caregiver participation. You will learn strategies that increase your child’s skills in a specific pivotal area known to produce widespread positive improvements in learning, social communication, and behaviour.

A screening will be completed to determine which pivotal area is most appropriate for your child or to provide recommendations for other services.

During this workshop facilitated by an Occupational Therapist and a Speech-Language Pathologist, you will learn about the development of the skills involved in eating and how to set up your mealtime environment for success. We will discuss strategies to reduce the stress and worry that can surround mealtimes with a child with eating-related issues and explore ways to make feeding fun. This workshop is intended for families looking to improve their child’s eating and mealtime experience.

All psychological assessments begin with this consultation with a Psychologist to share your questions and concerns about your child/youth so you can determine which type of assessment is best and when it should occur.

This group will help your child build readiness skills needed to participate in group games and sports. Children will be taught how to attend to a coach, learn new actions used in sports (e.g., shooting baskets), and become more independent in group games and sports. Parents/caregivers will participate along with their child to help them meet their goals and learn strategies to help further support their child to participate in sports. Facilitated by Autism Therapists with supervision from an OAP Clinical Supervisor.
