Ontario Autism Program (OAP)

What does Ontario Autism Program mean?

The Ontario Autism Program provides funding and services for eligible autistic children and youth in Ontario, including core clinical services and foundational family services.

Why this term matters

For Ontario families, the OAP can be an important source of funding and services to help support an autistic child's development, therapy, and community participation. Understanding how the program works and how to navigate it is often one of the first steps families take after their child receives an autism diagnosis in Ontario.

Canadian context

The OAP is delivered through the Government of Ontario and accessed via AccessOAP. Program details and eligibility can change.
