Parent Navigator

Let’s confirm where you stand

A plain-language explanation of this stage and the next steps available to your family.

What this means

It’s common to be unsure where you stand — the process can be hard to follow. The single most useful thing you can do is ask AccessOAP, in writing, to confirm your registration status, your registration date, and what your next step is. A written answer turns uncertainty into a record you can build on. Once you know your status, the rest of the Navigator adapts to it.

What to ask AccessOAP, say it or paste it
I’m not certain of my status with the Ontario Autism Program. Please confirm in writing whether we’re registered, our registration date, and what our next step is.

What to record

  • Whatever OAP documents you already have
  • AccessOAP’s written confirmation when it arrives

Supports that may apply

  • Once your status is confirmed, ask what supports apply to your family now.

What not to rely on

“You must already know your status.”
You don’t. Ask AccessOAP to put their answer in writing. A verbal answer has no date and no record. That written confirmation is your starting point.

If you need to escalate

Common questions

Ask AccessOAP, in writing, to confirm your registration status, date, and next step. A written answer is the reliable record to build on.
