Hello.
Welcome to Monarch House, Canada’s largest independent provider of autism services. Since opening in 2009, our goal has been to accept, engage, and support those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other diagnoses, helping families adapt and thrive in a world where you should feel like you truly belong.
As a leading provider of autism services in Coquitlam, we have expanded our national footprint to 14 locations in BC, Alberta, and Ontario. We offer the full range of autism services in Abbotsford for individuals with behaviour, communication, learning, motor, physical, speech, social, and vocational needs.
Every one of the thousands of families we’ve invited through our doors receives unique and individualized care. Our staff are selected not only for their experience and expertise but also for their shared belief in belonging to an organization with the higher purpose of improving lives. Being different is a strength that is welcomed and embraced at Monarch House.

Our purpose was and remains to provide a safe and welcoming environment where families navigating the autism journey can access quality services for their child and family all under one roof.

Our Approach
At Monarch House, we believe in evidence-based therapy. All service is based on best practices and a family-centred approach; this means you are involved in every decision in your child’s unique service and support plan.
At Monarch House, we improve access to required autism services in Coquitlam, coordinate treatment, and focus on results for individuals of all abilities, understanding and responding to their changing needs throughout their lives.
Our Board-Certified Behaviour Analysts®, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and mental health professionals work collaboratively to deliver evidence-based support and services in our centres, your home, or your child's school. We collaborate with each individual and specifically tailor services to their needs.
The earlier the intervention, the better
The earlier your child capitalizes on their brain’s plasticity, the more skills and pathways they develop for building essential skills like communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviours - all crucial for later success.
Studies consistently show that children who receive early intervention have better developmental outcomes, including improved language, social skills, and academic performance. They are also more likely to gain independence and lead fulfilling lives.
Conversely, the longer your child goes without focused support, the more likely they are to experience regression in skills they've already acquired. As a leading early intervention autism service provider, Monarch House Coquitlam helps your child maintain and build upon their existing strengths, and it allows the entire family to engage and learn the ideal approaches so your child thrives as they mature.
