Who We Are
Autism Centre Edmonton was founded by parents with lived experience who face challenges in finding sustainable community resources for their family. Recognizing the critical need for a comprehensive and supportive program, they created a center that directly responds to this gap. As a family of family doctors, they are uniquely positioned to integrate healthcare access with life skills training, social connection, and community engagement to ensure holistic support for autistic young adults and their families.
​
At Autism Centre Edmonton, we believe in fostering an inclusive, strengths-based environment where autistic young adults can thrive. Our holistic day program is designed to provide structured support, meaningful social engagement, and access to essential life skills. Rooted in neurodiversity-affirming practices, we celebrate individuality and we strive to empower participants to lead fulfilling lives with confidence and independence. By centering natural connections and offering integrated healthcare access, we strive to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable approach to well-being.
