Transition Services
Transitions from clinical services to school are better when families and schools are all on the same page. Our ASD Consultants work directly with caregivers and their school boards to help students move into their education safely and positively. Using visual tools, school visits, and close collaboration with school staff, we help children apply the skills they’ve learned in therapy to their classroom environment.
Together, we can help young people with autism thrive at school
Our School Support Program helps children with autism confidently transition from clinical settings to school across the Toronto region.
Services are available for both families and school boards. Each form of support is dedicated to helping children with autism flourish at school.
We offer services for:
- Families registered with the Ontario Autism Program
- Children who are entering school for the first time
- Children who are transitioning between the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) services to school
- Publicly funded school boards
