What Is Family & Caregiver Support?

Family and caregiver support empowers parents and caregivers with the knowledge, tools, and strategies they need to support their child’s development at home and in the community. Our clinicians provide individualized coaching sessions that cover behaviour management strategies, language growth techniques, daily living routines, and social-adaptive skills. When caregivers are equipped with the right tools, children make faster and more meaningful progress.

  • Parents and caregivers of autistic children and youth
  • Families navigating a new autism diagnosis
  • Caregivers looking to implement behaviour strategies at home
  • Parents wanting to support language and communication development
  • Families seeking guidance on daily routines and independence skills
  • Caregivers of children of any age
