OAP Coverage
What Is the Ontario Autism Program (OAP)?
The Ontario Autism Program (OAP) provides funding for eligible services and supports for children and youth on the autism spectrum and their families. At the Centre for Psychodynamic Insights, we offer psychotherapy and counselling services delivered by qualified regulated clinicians that may be eligible for OAP funding. Our services support emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, behavioural and emotional challenges, and the individual needs of children, youth, and families.
