Accessing Respite Services

Maltby Centre is now offering a series of workshops for parents, caregivers, and youth! Our workshops are designed to help families understand concepts related to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), access resources, and increase overall parent/ youth capacity. This online workshop is for parents living in Ontario with a valid OAP registration number.

As part of foundational family services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a family support coordinator after attending a workshop, to help you apply the workshop content to your specific family situation.

Accessing Respite Services is dedicated to helping parents navigate the respite system to obtain relief from caring for their child so that they can work, attend to the needs of their other children, or recharge their batteries.

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

• Find a respite provider.
• Match a worker’s skills set with your child’s needs.
• Manage the financial component of this service.

Requirements: To access this workshop, or a follow-up session, you will need a valid Ontario Autism Program Reference number. If you do not have an OAP Reference number please contact the Maltby Centre at 613-546-8535 and ask to speak to a Family Support Coordinator. This is a free workshop.

Please note this workshop is only offered in English.
