Understanding OAP

What Is the Ontario Autism Program (OAP)?

The Ontario Autism Program (OAP) is a government-funded initiative designed to help families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) access the services and support they need. Through the OAP, eligible families receive funding that can be used toward:

  • Core clinical services, including ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) therapy

  • Behavioural, speech, and developmental support programs

  • Access to a network of OAP-approved providers, like Advance Therapy

  • Guidance and resources for parents and caregivers throughout the process

At Advance Therapy, we help demystify the program — from your first application to ongoing progress tracking — so you can focus on what matters most: your child's growth.

Eligibility

Who Is Eligible for the Ontario Autism Program?

Your child may qualify for OAP funding if they meet the following criteria:

  • Confirmed ASD diagnosis from a qualified clinician

  • Under 18 years of age

  • Ontario resident

  • Required diagnostic documentation on file

Eligibility rules can feel confusing, especially for families who are new to the program. Our team offers step-by-step guidance to help you understand where you stand and what to do next.

Funding & Budgets

Understanding OAP Funding: Purchase of Service, Budgets & Receipts

Many families find the funding side of OAP just as challenging as the clinical side. Advance Therapy helps you make sense of:

  • How Purchase of Service (POS) funding works

  • Setting up and managing your child's therapy budget

  • Submitting receipts and documentation correctly

  • Making informed decisions about how to allocate funding across services

Our goal is to remove the administrative guesswork so your family can focus on therapy outcomes, not paperwork.
