Where Do I Begin?

A diagnosis of a developmental disability or autism is the first step in a life journey. The next step is determining where to turn for support for your loved one and family. There are many decisions to make – and questions about the best possible care options can be overwhelming. Each year, Ontario ARC guides hundreds of families through the intake process and puts them in touch with the right programs and services.
