Friendships are key for a healthy development for children and youth. Maintaining and developing
friendships can be especially tricky to navigate for children and youth with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD). This peer group is aimed at teaching and providing participants with opportunities to practice the
skills necessary for developing friendships. Participants will practice getting to know each other, how to
initiate and end conversations, conversation do’s and don’ts and how to host and be a guest at a play
date. Participants will have opportunities to learn these skills while interacting with each other and
participating in group games.

The Post Diagnostic Clinic service is a 12-week program. Caregivers attend 3 workshops and in the interim of each workshop attend a 1:1 consultation with a member of our clinical team (in-person and/or via telehealth) and a consultation check-in the following week. The aim of this service is to help caregivers learn to implement strategies with their child. Skill building goals for consultation sessions can include: language, imitation, play, communication. Consultation sessions are approximately 45-minutes in length and consultation check-in sessions are approximately 30-minutes in length. Workshop one provides an introduction to services for a child with a diagnosis and a review of what is Applied Behaviour Analysis. Workshop two introduces caregivers to the basics of teaching their child communication, increasing play skills, and teaching imitation skills. The final workshop covers ABA strategies that can be incorporated into everyday routines to increase appropriate behaviour.
