Reach Autism Program   

What is the REACH Autism Program?

The Reach Autism Program is for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) living in Delta, Surrey and Langley. The Reach Autism Program is an interdisciplinary, highly structured autism intervention program. Our intervention focuses on five child development areas: play skills, communication skills, social skills, self-help skills, and cognitive/academic skills.

Our team includes behaviour consultants (BCs), speech-language pathologists (SLPs), occupational therapists (OTs), associate behaviour consultants (ABCs), and behaviour interventionists (BIs).

The Reach Autism Program centre-based program focuses on teaching children how to succeed in preschool, school, and community settings. All children will have 1:1 session on their scheduled days, based on the goals outlined in their program plan. Goals may include developing children’s language and communication, play, cognitive, fine motor, and self-help skills.

Children have individualized goals, and participate in play-based, highly structured 1:1 sessions. Children attend three, or two, days a week for a maximum total of 26 – 28 hours of intervention per month.

Parent Participation

Parents are important teachers for their children. You and your child’s team will set goals for teaching your child new skills in home routines. Your team will provide coaching and teaching strategies to meet these goals. Goals may include toilet training, expanding your child’s diet, and teaching your child to communicate.
