Autism Intervention Program

Autism Services has been contracted by the Saskatoon Health Region to deliver the Autism Intervention Program.  The Autism Intervention Program has been created under “The Framework and Action Plan for Autism Spectrum Disorders” and will provide behavioural intervention services and individualized program planning for preschool children and consulting services for high needs children and adolescents.

Three Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Consultants will staff the program and provide clinical intake, assessment, intervention planning, coordination of services and the parent training and coaching.  They will develop the programs for preschool children and provide clinical supervision and administrative support of ASD Support Workers

Three Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Support Workers will staff the early intervention component of the program in a direct service position working directly with preschool age children presenting with ASD in a one to one setting in a home or clinic environment delivering a personal intervention plan developed for the child.

We are targeting staffing for the program to begin in early September with a program start date to follow after some further program development and staff training.
