If you need support for your child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the March Break, applications are now open for the Autism Ontario March Break Reimbursement Fund, funded by the Government of Ontario.

This support is available to Ontario families of children or youth with ASD, who retain the services of a one-to-one support worker, or who have paid for their child to attend a March Break camp or program.

Maximum reimbursements of $350 per child or youth (up to the age of 18), will be made to subsidize services purchased during the March Break. Reimbursements will be provided on a random selection made from all eligible applicants. At minimum, 1,007 Ontario families are expected to receive reimbursements.

Spectrum Intervention Group has launched its new Building Outcomes Optimizing Skills Through Support (BOOST) program, and they are now accepting registrations for the sessions beginning on January 17, 2026.

The program is provided to families for $75, thanks to a generous grant from the Andison Family Foundation.

BOOST is a combined group and parent coaching program for children ages four to nine who are not yet receiving core clinical services funding. Sessions will be held at Spectrum Intervention Group (30 Camelot Drive).

There are a wide range of Social Skills and Life Skills groups for the winter 2026 season in Ottawa and the Eastern Region. We’ve put together a list of available programs, organized by age group, to help you explore options.

These resources are shared for informational purposes only, and do not imply any endorsement or affiliation with SCS. Participation in these programs is optional, and families assume responsibility for their own involvement.
