Community Resources | Service Providers

ACT has compiled a listing of service providers from across British Columbia as a community service to those seeking helping or looking for professionals with experience with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

If your child is under age six and you have autism funding, you may use autism funds only for professional services from the Registry of Autism Service Providers. Once you have selected a Behavior consultant from the Registry of Autism Service Providers and a treatment plan has been developed you may hire a Behavior interventionist to work with the consultant and your child. Behavior interventionists are not listed on the Registry of Autism Service Providers.  Some possible sources to find interventionists, regardless of your child's age, are listed below in addition to other service providers that families with children over 6 years of age may access.

The inclusion of the Service Providers and their website links in this list does not imply ACT's endorsement of the providers or the contents of their websites including the claims, views, opinions or testimonials which may be posted therein. The purpose of this list is to provide referrals to the public who are seeking a service provider outside the Registered Autism Service Provider List.   We welcome additional information about services available throughout the province.  Please send your information to info@actcommunity.net

Our list is divided into four regions, which have been aligned with Community Living BC's service areas.
