Autism Ontario’s Spirale website aims to serve as the best possible source for parents, caregivers and the general community to locate regulated professionals and experienced autism workers for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Ontario.
The website, on which professionals self-register their experience and contact information, includes:
· Listings of regulated professionals *
· Listings of experienced autism workers
· A Parent Guide
· A growing list of Q & A’s (written with regulated professionals) aimed at helping parents get a sense of what to expect from a particular regulated professional who might provide service for their child or family
HELP US BUILD SPIRALE’S LISTINGS
With the website newly launched, we are still in the growing stage and ask those using the site to keep this in mind and check back if you don’t find the professional you are looking for.
Please tell us if you know of a regulated professional that provides quality care for children with ASD. We will contact this professional and inform them about Autism Ontario and Spirale and invite them to register on the site.
You can let us know by referring a regulated professional today!
* Notes:
i. As Spirale grows, we will continue to add additional relevant regulated professionals.
ii. Naturopaths and homeopaths are disciplines that have been regulated by the Drugless Practitioners Act. The Government of Ontario has passed new acts (Naturopathy Act, 2007 and Homeopathy Act, 2007 respectively) that set out the process for new regulatory colleges to be created that will oversee registering and regulating these professions in the public interest. Once established and operating (anticipated in 2013) these colleges will set each profession’s qualifications and requirements for naturopaths and homeopaths to practice as licensed health professionals in Ontario – just as 27 other regulated health professions are governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. It’s at this time they will be included on the Spirale website.
