Overview
Since 1953, the Durham Region community has trusted the expertise of Grandview Kids. We take great pride in more than 65 years as a family-centred organization, serving the diverse needs of children, youth and their families. Our Purchased Services are separate from our core programs and services. Your participation in Purchased Services does not impact wait times for those programs.

Purchased Service Offerings
Autism Behaviour Services
Developed with feedback from families, #TeamGrandview is excited to be offering a range of group and 1:1 Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) programs for families with children or youth with a confirmed diagnosis of autism. Every child registered in any of our ABA Programs will receive an individualized assessment with a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA). If required, a Speech-Language Pathologist (S-LP) and/or Occupational Therapist (OT) may also participate in the assessment.
Behaviour services utilize the principles of ABA to target a broad range of goals within a number of learning domains, such as behaviour modification, communication, activities of daily living, pre-academic skills and emotional regulation. Our Autism Program team of experienced clinicians works together, and with parents/caregivers, to ensure that the best practices and evidence-based treatments are supporting the child’s autism services journey. Two pathways are available to clients and caregivers:
Pathway 1: Foundational Applied Skills Training (FAST) Program
Foundational skills across learning domains are targeted in this model, with a focus on primary goal areas, which will be determined during a parent/caregiver interview and child assessment.
Pathway 2: Mediator Model
In this pathway, parents or caregivers observe and participate in the child’s treatment sessions, and receive training to support the child’s goal attainment through additional practice at home.
Visit the Foundational Family Services webpage to learn about available workshops for families with children registered in the Ontario Autism Program.
