Getting an autism diagnosis for your child can bring a lot of emotions at once, and figuring out what to do next can feel like a full-time job. This guide walks you through the practical steps: registering for the OAP, understanding key Ontario programs like the Entry to School Program and Urgent Response Services, and navigating funding options including the Disability Tax Credit, Special Services at Home, and private health benefits. It also covers neuro-affirming care, building a collaborative therapy team, and local resources for Waterloo and Burlington families. Written by Brittany and Shawna at elemenoe to help you move forward with clarity.
