- Summer and March Break Autonomy Day Camp
1 week during March Break, and 7 Weeks during summer Vacation. A Unique and dynamic camp experience, where we put the participants in the driving seat, and encourage them to practice skills, like planning, budgeting, and navigating.
At the beginning of each week, the participants and staff gather at our office and plan the activities for the rest of the week. The camp provides a safe and fun environment that encourages and fosters autonomy.

A free peer pairing service, where participants register by filling in the form. They are then matched with an individual who shares common interests, and a meeting is arranged. A volunteer assists with the first meeting to ensure a successful meeting. A great opportunity for participants to connect with others, develop friendships, and share experiences.

Individual consultation and interventions to promote autonomy by an occupational therapist
For our consultations and interventions in autonomy, we can evaluate, consult, or intervene on a specific element of autonomy during a home visit or in our offices. This element will answer to a mandate that you will have given us beforehand. Aiming for specific autonomy goals given to us by the autistic participant will permit us to create an action plan to address and improve the quality of life of teenagers and adults on the spectrum.
​
An Occupation Therapy receipt will be available.
