Searching for therapies, schools, respite, or sensory-friendly places in the Greater Toronto Area is overwhelming. Use this sequence so you cover funding, formal networks, and day-to-day fit.
If your child is under 18 with a written ASD diagnosis, register with the OAP. That unlocks foundational family services and pathways into regional networks. Start at ontario.ca/ontario-autism-program.
Directories list clinics; fewer tell you about sensory environments, staff training, funding accepted, or age range. Use the Autism Atlas map to filter by category (therapies, respite, parks, schools) and support features.
Explore DTC, RDSP, Passport, SSAH, and caregiver groups via Autism Ontario. See our full Guides page for official links.
