Specialized planning and support for youth with autism as they prepare to leave children’s services and move into adult systems, focusing on education, employment, and housing. While Transition to Adulthood is considered highly effective, especially during the critical window of ages 14-21 during the transition period, families depending on the Ontario Autism Program face a severe bottleneck. Currently, 76.9% of registered children are waiting to access core services like Transition to Adulthood.
Without timely public funding, families must either pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. The average intensive Transition to Adulthood program costs between $0and $0 per year.
