Ontario Helping More Kids With Autism And Their Families McGuinty Government Expanding Autism Services and Supports Starting late next spring, communities across the province will offer new services and supports for children and youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

Approximately 8,000 kids with ASD will benefit annually from new Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)-based services, which will help them develop communication, social and daily living skills and manage better in school. This is in addition to the intensive therapy already benefiting 1,446 children and youth under Ontario's Autism Intervention Program.

Ontario is also investing in the future of autism research in the province. A new clinical expert committee will provide advice on emerging research and best practices. Investment in leading edge autism research right here in Ontario will help to improve early detection and diagnosis, and better understand links with other conditions.
