Centre-Based Respite

The Centre for Autism Services Alberta is pleased to offer respite, which provides families with short-term, temporary relief allowing parents time to rest, relax and rejuvenate while children are given the opportunity for social interactions and to engage in recreational activities in a supervised, supported setting.

The program is open to children with autism who are between 5 to 17 years of age. Siblings who are 5 years and older are also welcome to attend.

Transportation to and from the Centre is the responsibility of the family.
