2. If your idea fits the criteria for Social Learning Opportunity objectives, then you will be asked to complete a Social Learning Opportunity Idea form. If your idea does not fit the criteria for Social Learning Opportunity objectives, the RCP Coordinator may offer suggestions to help you pursue your concept.
3. Completed Social Learning Opportunity Idea forms will be reviewed by a regional Social Learning Opportunity Review Committee. All regional Review Committees will use a standard Rating Scale to determine the strongest ideas for their community.
4. Prior to approval, the strongest ideas will reviewed by the RCP Program Manager at the Provincial Office of Autism Ontario.
Please Note: submitting an idea will not guarantee that your child/family will be accepted to participate in the Social Learning Opportunity.
For reasons of safety and to ensure maximum program benefit for all involved, there will be limitations on the number of participants for each Social Learning Opportunity. Prior to enrollment, some Social Learning Opportunities may also require participants to undergo pre-screening for eligibility and/or suitability.
