Canadian context
Nunavut is a vast and predominantly remote territory, and the availability of specialized autism or developmental services can vary significantly depending on a family's community. Programs are administered by the territorial government and community organizations, with eligibility decided by each program, and families may benefit from speaking with a local health or education contact to understand what is currently accessible to them.
