Seeking an Assessment for a Diagnosis ?
I need clear answers and want to explore private diagnostic options or navigate the BCAAN pathway.
Navigating BC Autism Funding (AFU)?
I have a diagnosis and need help setting up my funding, selecting RASP-approved clinicians, or managing my AFU portal.
Already Receiving BC Funding & Ready for Care?
My funding is approved. I am ready to access integrated speech, OT, behaviour, and counselling services right away.
No Diagnosis Necessary - Seeking Direct Support?
I’m interested in SLP, OT, Counsellors and/or BCBAs for developmental support.

We work with an integrated service team
At Monarch House, we believe your child should never receive care in isolation. All of our Occupational Therapits (OTs), Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs), Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), and Psychotherapists (PTs) collaborate daily to build a single, synchronized plan tailored to your child’s unique communication, sensory, behavioural and psychological needs. Because real growth happens when therapies align beyond our clinic doors.
Here’s an easy breakdown of who would support your family, depending on the types of daily challenges and emotional needs that you have.
The Importance of Early Diagnosis
Neurological research confirms that autism can be reliably diagnosed by age 2, with clear markers visible as early as 12 months. This window is critical because early neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to adapt and rewire - is at its peak. Waiting to act compounds developmental deficits. Early intervention can drastically improve your child’s development, helping them gain more skills and independence over time.
Monarch Essentials
Maximizing Support While You Wait.
Immediate, Focused and Actionable Autism Support.
You don't need full provincial funding to start making meaningful progress. By focusing on your household's most critical milestones, you achieve immediate relief without committing to a longer, full-scale program.
Outcomes Improve The Sooner You Act
When you can’t wait years for help, Monarch Essentials are focused, evidence-based programs designed to bridge the gap between diagnosis and everyday success. Available at all Ontario locations, your family can pay for specific on-site or virtual training for the most critical challenges like toileting, sleeping, eating or communicating. Waiting to tackle ANY of these milestone behaviours leads to greater challenges as your child grows.
Free Practical Support
Beyond our 4 critical programs, we designed Monarch Essentials to give your child and family additional free content, including videos, articles, how-to guides, downloadable checklists, and answers to your neurodivergent questions. Developed by our trained staff of psychologists, occupational/behavioural therapists, counsellors, and clinicians, this is Canada’s largest resource to solve the immediate, real-world challenges affecting your family’s growth.
