Foundational Family Services are available to families/caregivers of children and youth who are registered with the Ontario Autism Program.
At ConnectWell Community Health Carleton Place Site, we have a multidisciplinary team with over 40 years of experience working with children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families. We offer a variety of education opportunities on a wide range of topics for parents/caregivers. Foundational Family Services will provide you with tools and strategies to support your child or youth in the areas of daily routines, toilet training, communication, behaviour and returning to the school environment. Currently, our workshop sessions are taking place virtually using Zoom (PHIPA – Personal Health Information Protection Act approved). Following the workshops, you may have the option to schedule a 1:1 consultation session to discuss your specific goals with one of our experienced and well trained autism services team.
