AUTISM FUNDING ELIGIBILITY (For BC Residents)

Parents are encouraged to access other avenues of funding, listed above, prior to using Autism Funding.

If your child (6-18 years old and resides in BC) has been diagnosed with ASD and you have an Autism Funding Agreement, funding may be available through the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development’s Autism Funding: Ages 6-18 Program. Please contact the Autism Funding Unit for pre-approval. Approval is granted on an individual basis.

Our staff is happy to help with filling out Request to Pay Forms to receive the most efficient payment processing. We invoice the Autism Funding Unit direct so you don’t pay upfront.
