Home Based Intervention Program
Program Overview
The Centre offers an intensive home based intervention program for those
children who meet the criteria as defined in the Family Support for Children
with Disabilities Act and have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders and as
recommended by the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) panel and approved by the
director of Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD). This program
can include aide supports, speech-language services, occupational therapy
services, behavioural consultation, psychology assessment/consultation,
physiotherapy services and case management services. The amount and type of
supports each child receives is dependent on each child’s needs.
Services provided at the Centre are focused on increasing independence and
connections to the community. Core characteristics of ASD are targeted including
communication and socialization skills, behaviour, physical and motor
development, cognition, and self-help skills and adaptive functioning.
