Private school tuition is ineligible under OAP Core Clinical Services Educational / school programs offered by ABA providers would be eligible. Therapeutic services (speech therapy, OT, etc) provided in private schools may be eligible. But tuition in itself is not

@CTVToronto Refrain from pathologizing #autism It's not a condition or disease that needs to be "treated" It's a neurotype that should be understood, accepted & accommodated #AutismAcceptance #neurodiversity

Confused as to what happened here @CHCHNews? A community agency (in this case Lansdowne) or service provider can't independently register a child for the OAP on behalf of the parents Registration must be completed directly by the child's primary caregiver #autism @ChildrenON
