Autism Funding

British Columbia has generous funding available to support families of children with autism.

Here’s their website for more details.

If you’re a parent of someone with autism, chances are you’re already an expert on accessing this funding.

I’m approved as a provider for Family Counselling/Therapy with the Autism Funding Unit.

My services differ from those of a behaviour consultant. I work with children and their parents on things like social skills, self-regulation, communication, behaviour, school issues, and self-esteem.

My office is a very welcoming, low-sensory place for in-person sessions, but I have clients outside of Vancouver who meet with me virtually, too.

Sensitivity and knack.

A big part of what I can provide is the same level of talk/play therapy that a neurotypical child might access—but with the special background and skills I bring to the work.

In addition to my training, I have a sensitivity and a knack (not a technical term, I know) for building positive, productive relationships with children who see the world a little differently.

If you’re not the same as everybody else, why would I treat you the same?

Let’s talk first.

As you likely know, I won’t be able to provide services until you submit the request to Autism Funding. And you don’t want to do that until we’ve talked.

So let’s talk first. We can chat about what your needs are and what my skill set is. You can get my details and send in the provider request form.

Then we can book some sessions—definitely one with you (or you and your child) before I think about seeing them on their own.
