About Us
Autism Ontario - Ottawa ChapterLiving or working with a person who has a developmental disorder like autism or another Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be very challenging. Trying to sort through the myriad of information, services, programs and treatments and deal with school boards, agencies, family and the ongoing needs of a person with autism/PDD or Asperger Syndrome, only adds to the challenge. We're here to help. At the Ottawa Chapter of Autism Ontario we understand the challenge of dealing with autism/ASD. We are an independent, non-profit organization committed to improving the quality of life for people and families living with autism and related disorders. Our membership is composed primarily of parents in the Ottawa-Carleton region and interested individuals and professionals who deal with autism and related disorders. The chapter is run by a Leadership Council. The officers of the Council are volunteer members of the Chapter who are elected annually by the general membership.
We provide information, support, resources and advocacy to advance the quality of life for persons affected by ASDs within our community.
The Ottawa Chapter has been in existence for over 30 years and was one of the first chapters. There are now 29 chapters throughout the province.Our MissionTo ensure that each individual with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is provided the means to achieve quality of life as a respected member of society.
