OAP provider list and independent Ontario autism directory.

Search Ontario autism providers by city, service and language. This is an independent directory, not the official OAP Provider List, which lives at oapproviderlist.ca. Confirm any provider there before you book.

The OAP Provider List is Ontario’s online list of registered behaviour analysts, psychologists, speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists for autistic children and youth. The province sets the rules for who can join. The list runs on its own website, powered by Autism Ontario.

This page is our independent directory. It is not that list. Listings come from the official list and public information checked by ETWO. Before booking or submitting expenses, confirm the provider’s current status. Services and funding rules can change. Emails and phone numbers are not mirrored here.

Official OAP Provider List vs this directory

The official OAP Provider List and this directory have similar names but are not the same thing. Here is how they differ, so you know which one you are reading.

The official list and this independent directory, compared. Wording checked October 13, 2026 against the official list’s family page and Ontario’s 2026–27 provider list page.
QuestionOfficial OAP Provider ListThis directory
Who runs itA separate website, oapproviderlist.ca, run by an operator the Ministry funds, on a site independent of the ministry’s. The site says it is powered by Autism Ontario.End The Wait Ontario, a parent-led advocacy site. Not the Ministry, not Autism Ontario, and not a government list.
Who is in itRegistered behaviour analysts, psychologists, speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists who applied and met Ontario’s qualification rules.Organizations grouped from the official list’s listings, plus 56 organizations we checked ourselves. Some of those are also on the official list.
Is it requiredOntario says it is voluntary for the 2026–27 contract period. Families receiving OAP funding can still hire registered professionals who have not joined.No. A listing here is not an approval, and we do not endorse providers.
What you can doSearch by address or city. Filter by provider type, service options, Indigenous identity and languages.Search one map by city, service and language. Open a city page. See the accepting-new-clients flag as copied from the official list on July 17, 2026. Download the data as CSV or JSON.
What neither tells youWhether a provider has space for your child, how long the wait is, or how much funding you have left. Ask the provider about space and ask AccessOAP about your own funding.

How to check if a provider is on the OAP provider list

  1. Open the official OAP Provider List search (oapproviderlist.ca) and choose “Search for a Provider.”
  2. Enter your address or city. Use the filters for provider type, service options, Indigenous identity and languages, then select “Apply Filter.”
  3. Look for the provider in your results. Not finding them does not settle it. Ontario says the list is voluntary for the 2026–27 contract period, so families receiving OAP funding can still hire registered professionals who have not joined.
  4. Check the provider’s college. The official list names three: CPBAO for behaviour analysts and psychologists, CASLPO for speech-language pathologists, and COTO for occupational therapists. Each college lets you look up registered members.
  5. Ask the provider about space, waiting times, fees and how they work with OAP funding. Autism Ontario has a PDF of questions to ask before hiring a service provider.
  6. Ask AccessOAP about your child’s own funding. See our AccessOAP help page.

OAP provider list questions

Is this the official OAP Provider List?

No. This is an independent directory run by End The Wait Ontario. The official OAP Provider List is a separate website at oapproviderlist.ca, powered by Autism Ontario. Our directory brings that list’s listings and providers we checked into one map. Confirm any provider on the official list before you book.

Where is the official Ontario Autism Program provider list?

It is at oapproviderlist.ca. Choose “Search for a Provider,” enter your address or city, then use the filters for provider type, service options, Indigenous identity and languages. The website is separate from ontario.ca, which describes the list in its 2026–27 service objectives.

Is the OAP provider list the same as AccessOAP?

No. They do different jobs. AccessOAP is the main point of entry to the Ontario Autism Program. The OAP Provider List is a searchable directory of professionals who offer OAP core clinical services. Use AccessOAP for your child’s file and funding questions.

Is there an official list of approved OAP providers?

Ontario calls it the OAP Provider List. Providers apply, and the operator approves or refuses each application. For the 2026–27 contract period, Ontario says the list is voluntary. Families receiving OAP funding can still hire registered professionals who have not joined it.

What does a provider need to join the OAP Provider List?

For behaviour analysts, Ontario’s rules include good standing with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario, a year of full-time experience after registration, a vulnerable sector check in the past year, and liability insurance. Speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists have their own rules on the same Ontario page, with registration at their own colleges.

Does being on the list mean a provider has space or that I have funding?

No. Being on the list shows a provider met the qualification rules. It does not guarantee space, a wait time or funding. This directory shows the accepting-new-clients flag as copied from the official list on the snapshot date, and it can be out of date. Ask the provider about space and ask AccessOAP about your funding.

How do I find ABA providers near me in Ontario?

Use the search near the top of this page. Pick your city, then filter by service and language. You can also open a city page from the list of cities. Then check each provider on the official list and ask about space and funding. This directory does not rank providers or show wait times.

Directory status: check before booking

Listings are compiled from the official OAP Provider List and public information checked by ETWO. Before booking or submitting expenses, confirm the provider’s current status through the Ontario Autism Program. Provider availability, services, and funding rules can change. Emails and phone numbers are not mirrored here.

How many children are on the Ontario autism waitlist in 2026?

As of May 13, 2026, 91,974 children are registered with the Ontario Autism Program. However, only 20,711 (22.5%) have an active Core Funding Agreement. This represents ~300% growth in registrations since 2019, with 71,263 children still waiting for essential funding.
