What does Newfoundland and Labrador Autism Services mean?
Newfoundland and Labrador autism services are supports that may be available to autistic children and their families through health, education, early intervention, community, and disability programs in the province. The services a family can access often depend on their child's age, location, and individual support needs. Families living in more rural or remote areas of the province may find that accessing some services requires extra planning.
