Autism Services

All of the autism services programs at ErinoakKids are available to any child with autism, regardless of where they live. Our qualified therapists would love to help families living near our Brampton, Mississauga, and Oakville sites, but we also welcome families from Vaughan, Etobicoke, Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph and beyond, especially now that we have virtual services available. 

As one of the pioneers in providing autism services in Ontario, and as the largest provider of those services in the province, we have deep expertise and proven success in helping tens of thousands of children with autism achieve their full potential. All ErinoakKids autism programs are clinically supervised by Psychologists and Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs), who work in an interdisciplinary approach with Speech Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists. If you’re a parent or guardian of a child with autism, we look forward to working with you!

Other Clinical Services Available

Children and youth living within Peel and Halton Regions and Dufferin County (our catchment area for government funded services) who are receiving autism services from ErinoakKids are also able to access any other rehabilitation or treatment services for which they qualify, such as speech language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, or social work services at no additional cost, and at the same location they receive autism services.

Please call 905-855-2690 (toll free 1-877-374-6625) and press 4 to speak with one of our team members to learn more.

Special Measures in Place During the COVID-19 Pandemic 

Safeguarding the health and safety of the families we serve, along with the health and safety of our staff, is our most important priority. For the most up to date and detailed information on our safety protocols please visit our COVID-19 page. In summary:

• All adults are required to wear a mask provided by ErinoakKids while in the building. 
• Children ages 2 and older are required to wear masks, if possible.
• Group activities for children and youth are conducted in small learning pods to limit the number of people each individual has contact with. 
• Intensive cleaning measures are in place throughout our sites and handwashing, or using hand sanitizer, is encouraged frequently.
