Expanding the delivery of quality autism services and support to children, youth and their families

Kinark is proud of our 20-year history of providing high quality, evidenced-based behavioural services and respite camps to thousands of children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families.

In 2019, the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services announced plans to implement a new needs-based Ontario Autism Program (OAP). Kinark is working closely with families and with government to align our services to meet our clients’ unique needs.
