Understand the program

Get started

New here, or newly diagnosed? These pages explain what the Ontario Autism Program is, what happens after diagnosis, and what you can do before funding arrives.

Plan around the wait

Tools

Interactive estimators that turn the wait into numbers you can plan around — where you sit in line, what funding covers, and what therapy actually costs.

Check the data

What makes End The Wait Ontario different from other autism resources?

Verified

End The Wait Ontario analyzes Ontario's autism waitlist crisis using verified program data from Freedom of Information requests filed by the Ontario Autism Coalition (Dec 2025) and CBC News (Jan 2026), and the FAO. [FOI] Because this platform aggregates ministry and watchdog figures in one place, parents and advocates can monitor the crisis in real time and hold decision‑makers accountable.
