Autism Service Offerings

ErinoakKids currently offers three streams of direct autism services which are funded by the Ontario Autism Program (OAP), and so your child must be registered with the OAP to access these services.

We are also pleased to offer Day Respite for children up to 18 years of age with challenging behaviour needs, autism or other developmental disabilities.

Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Program

Caregiver-Mediated Early Years (CMEY) programs support families with young children ages 12 months to four years. CMEY helps young children learn new skills and meet individualized goals.

Entry to School Program

The Entry To School (ETS) program is open to children aged three to six years of age registered with the OAP and entering school for the first time. This program supports successful transitions into school.
