CSBD Autism Services offers a variety of supports and services for children and youth under the age of 18. For more than 20 years, CSBD has been offering services and supports for children and youth with autism, and their families.

We offer a range of both funded and fee-for-service programs for families to help them meet their goals.  Foundational Family Services offers families and caregivers a range of workshops, parent education opportunities, and advocacy support, and can help guide you through transitions. Our team is knowledgeable, skilled, and are able to help you navigate which options would work best for you.  
CSBD Autism Services offers Core Clinical Services using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to support your child’s individual learning needs and style. Core Clinical Services can be purchased with OAP (Ontario Autism Program) funding, out-of-pocket, or other sources, such as private insurance.  
 
Our team will work with you to build a plan for you and your child, which may focus on a range of needs and skill areas, including communication, social interaction, play skills, independence skills, or decreasing challenging behaviours. 
Foundational Family Services are available free of charge to all families registered in the Ontario Autism Program. Parents and caregivers can sign up and participate in workshops with other parents and caregivers. You may schedule a 1:1 follow-up session to refine the application of skills learned in the workshop.
 
Foundational Family Services strives to give you the tools to work with your child/youth and participate in their ongoing learning and development.  These may include;
 
  1. Family and peer mentoring – share experiences in a supportive, informative and social atmosphere
  2. Caregiver workshops and follow-up coaching sessions – information, education and resources on a variety of topics
  3. Brief targeted consultations – direct support to help address a specific need and support your child’s skill development
  4. Transition supports – help prepare for your child’s personal and educational transitions, as well as transitions to adulthood
  5. Family resource and clinic days – brainstorm, consult and problem-solve with professionals
