Professional assistance to help families navigate the autism service system, identify needs, and coordinate multiple services for a holistic approach to care. While Care Coordination is considered highly effective, especially during the critical window of highly valuable during initial diagnosis and major life transitions, families depending on the Ontario Autism Program face a severe bottleneck. Currently, 76.9% of registered children are waiting to access core services like Care Coordination.
Without timely public funding, families must either pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. The average intensive Care Coordination program costs between $0and $0 per year.
