Connecting you with the autism services your child needs.

We offer a variety of funded services for families registered in the Ontario Autism Program (OAP). These foundational family services provide support for children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as complementary programs for siblings, parents and caregivers.

Kinark offers a range of psychological assessments for children and youth between the ages of two and 18. A psychological assessment is used to evaluate a child or youth’s development, thinking, learning, emotions, behaviour and/or day-to-day functioning. The information gathered through assessments helps to support children, youth and their families in making informed decisions and to better advocate in health care, school, and community settings.

Are you looking to increase your child’s communication, independence, play and social skills, and school readiness skills? Our centre-based services can help.

This service provides caregivers with hands-on coaching and consultation individualized to the strengths and needs of their child. During these sessions, Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) Clinicians meet with parents and caregivers virtually or in-person (at a Kinark site or in the family’s home) to identify goals and provide individualized strategies based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).

We offer Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) assessment and treatment sessions for children and youth. Our SLP services focus on the assessment and treatment of a broad range of speech, language, and communication impairments. These sessions support a child’s ability to communicate more effectively and participate in daily activities.

Connections for Students (CFS) is a collaborative approach to improving transitions for school-aged children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This service is offered to support a child’s individualized needs through brief targeted consultative services that support the successful transition of a student with ASD into and/or within the publicly funded school system.

Kinark Autism Services offers individual Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment and treatment sessions to families of children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

These sessions provide support with concerns related to self-care, productivity and leisure. Occupational Therapy can also support sensory processing, sleep, selective eating, and emotion regulation concerns to enhance overall quality of life. Sessions can be provided in-person within a clinic setting or virtually (if appropriate).
