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.
