The Autism Program
The Autism Program (TAP) was established in 2005 to provide evidence-based intervention services for children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
We provides services to children and youth from 2 to 19 years of age. During the school year we provide weekly services for preschoolers and school aged children. During the summer we provide a two-week day camp for older school-aged children and teen
Services for children over 6 years
Comox Valley Autism ProgramThese small groups are for students aged 6 to 19. The goal of these groups is to help create friendships and peer interaction. The focus is on social and academic skills.
Behaviour Consultants develop a personalized program for each student. An autism interventionist leads each group with a focus on practicing activities to share with friends and learning the social skills to make and keep friendships
Groups take place after school at the Comox Valley Child Development Association. Community field trips are an important feature of these groups.
Camp Oasis
This is a two-week summer day camp held in July for youth aged 11 to 19 with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The camp is based at the Comox Valley Child Development Association and includes daily outings throughout the Comox Valley and beyond.
International volunteers with the Canadian Alliance for Development Initiatives and Projects (CADIP) come from around the world to help staff the camp. The volunteers take part in a week long intensive training about Autism Spectrum Disorder and participate in the planning of camp, which is based on the individual needs and interests of the camp participants.
