Who we support
TRE-ADD is for children and youth ages 6–18 with:
- Autism or related intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Complex behavioural challenges
Forms of support
There are two forms of TRE-ADD support:
School-based services and community support services.
TRE-ADD School-Based Services
School-based services are in partnership with local school boards to help students safely return to a community classroom. Students are admitted into one of six treatment classrooms, where they receive clinical (i.e., functional behavioural assessments; medical or medication review) and educational assessments, and an individualized treatment plan for the student and their family.
TRE-ADD Community Support Services
Community Support Services of TRE-ADD provides community-based services and short-term consultation to caregivers and professionals who support children and youth with complex behaviours. We offer a range of supports, including:
- Free Wellness events
- Referrals and funding resources
- Access to support groups
- Brief consultation and support strategies
- Professional development and training
Helping young people succeed at school and in their community
In the TRE-ADD program, we assess and treat complex behaviours, such as aggression or self-injury. The goal is to help young people with complex needs confidently participate in school and community so they can pursue their possibilities.
