Kerry's Place Autism Services

Welcome to Kerry's Place Autism Services. We are Canada's largest service provider to families with children, adolescents, and adults, with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Since 1974 Kerry's Place has been creating, and providing evidence-based supports and services across the province of Ontario that enhance the quality of life of those with ASD. Today, we are envisioning a future where all persons with ASD are participating fully in their communities. With staff numbering more than 1200, Kerry's Place is one of the only organizations in the country that serves the entire life span of those with ASD. Through the Ontario Autism Program, we provide children and youth - and their families - a menu of timely, evidence-based services needed to achieve their goals at home, at school, and within their communities. This initiative serves individuals with ASD up to age 18, delivering skill-building groups, individual consultation, and family support. We provide numerous Community Services and Supports, including our day and overnight respite options to provide a well-deserved break for families with loved ones with Autism, along with our many camps and leisure groups. Our Adult Skill-Building and Peer Support Groups broaden the social circle for every individual we support. Our Employment Programs lend assistance to young adults with Autism to help develop skills that lead to meaningful employment opportunities. We provide adults with ASD Residential and Semi-Independent Living Supports at 90 distinct properties across Ontario. Our group living approach provides a safe, 24 hour, home environment where residents are encouraged to pursue their own personal goals including outings into the community, employment, and an array of interests. Many of our residence grow with Kerry's Place, spending upwards of 30 years with us. And through a lifetime of shared pursuits and generational experiences, we too, grow with them. Kerry's Place Autism Services: This is Our Community!
