@SurreyPlaceON Community Resource Directory Navigating AutismSupportsThroughtheLifespan 9th edition, 2023
1 Introduction TheSchool Support Program (SSP) began in 2004 as a joint initiative between the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (formerly Ministry of Children and Youth Services) and the Ministry of Education. Surrey Place is the lead agency for the Toronto Region. The program was created to enhance existing supports and offer additional services and supports for the increasing number of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Ontario. The Community Resource Directory was created to assist families and professionals in navigating the often complex system of service delivery for individuals with ASD. This edition has been revised and updated in order to provide the most current listings for both children, youth and adults. The entries are not endorsed by Surrey Place but rather listed for informational purposes only. Every effort has been made to represent each agency and service as accurately as possible, however, programs and services do change frequently and readers are encouraged to call agencies to find out specific details of service availability. We hope that you will find this directory helpful as you navigate services in Toronto. 9th Edition, 2023
2 Introduction LeProgramme de soutien en milieu scolaire (PSMS) a été créé en 2004en tant qu’initiative conjointe entre le ministère des Services à l’enfance et des Services sociaux et communautaires (anciennement ministère des Services à l’enfance et à la jeunesse) et le ministère de l’Éducation. Surrey Place est l’organisme délégué pour la région de Toronto. Le programme a été élaboré pour offrir des services et des soutiens supplémentaires au nombre croissant d’élèves ayant des troubles du spectre de l’autisme et/ou troubles autistiques (TSA) en Ontario. L’Annuaire des ressources communautaires a été développé dans le but d’aider les familles et les professionnels à s’y retrouver dans le système souvent complexe de la prestation de services aux personnes ayant un TSA. Cette édition a été révisée et mise à jour afin de fournir les listes les plus récentes pour les enfants et les adultes. Les entrées ne sont pas particulièrement approuvées par Surrey Place. Tous les efforts ont été faits pour représenter chaque agence et chaque service offert aussi fidèlement que possible. Cependant, les programmes et les services offerts changent souvent et les lecteurs sont encouragés à appeler les agences pour obtenir des détails précis ainsi que les disponibilités de leurs services. Nous espérons que ce répertoire vous sera utile pour trouver les agences dont vous avez besoin à Toronto. 9e édition, 2023
