Autism Spectrum Disorder

Helping autistic children and adolescents gain meaningful skills, achieve their goals, and honour their strengths and authentic ways of being

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Autism?

Autism is a lifelong, neuro-developmental difference impacting the way an individual processes sensory information, thinks, communicates, and socializes. Each autistic person has a unique profile of strengths and challenges that can change over time and vary according to the environment.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Care

At Red Oak, we support autistic youth in a variety of ways depending on each child’s needs and unique profile. We honour each child and their authentic way of being, while supporting skill development in various areas including mental health, social communication, academic support, and emotion regulation. Our practitioners support the entire family in a neurodiversity-affirming manner, providing both direct support to children and parents.
