Papillon Family Health - Where children are encouraged to be themselves.

At Papillon Family Health we offer a range of services to aid the growth and development of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We understand that each child is unique so our team collaborates with families to create the most effective therapy program for each individual child. We offer three ways that families can use our services: in-centre, at home or virtually. Parents can either choose one way or adopt a blended approach to suit their needs.

Since 2009 our centre has been a hub for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families, providing support and empowering children with the tools and help they need. We have built a comfortable and positive environment focused on developing and affirming children’s abilities and establishing pride for accomplishments. We believe in offering realistic environments where children can learn the skills they need to prepare for success in the future.

Our interdisciplinary treatment model ensures that from the initial assessment and throughout the learning journey, the family and specialists are working together with the child towards shared goals and objectives. We offer a range of services including Behavioural Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Mental Health, and Respite Services.
