New Ontario Autism Program

Friday, July 8, 2016

The Ontario Autism Program is being transitioned to include new changes and services that will better support children and families with autism.

Beginning in June 2017, the new Ontario Autism Program will include the following changes:

  • Continue to provide services for families who have children over 5 years that are being transitioned off intensive behavioural intervention (IBI) waitlist
  • Improve access to diagnostic services
  • Better resources for families, such as one-on-one support
  • Improve autism supports in schools to help children continue with full-time studies

If your family will be affected by these new changes, you can call the Ontario Autism Program at 1-888-284-8340 or contact the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.

You can find more information about autism on Settlement.Org or on Ministry of Children and Youth Services.
