Provincial Preschool Autism Service

The Provincial Preschool Autism Service is a partnership between IWK Health, Nova Scotia Health, Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia, and Autism Nova Scotia providing services and support for preschool-age children and families across Nova Scotia.

Preschool autism services in Nova Scotia are evolving to support children with autism and their families. The focus is on providing needs-based services, which means that the support offered will be customized to fit the unique strengths, needs, and priorities of each child and family.

Children and families are at the center of what we do, ensuring that the supports provided meet each child’s needs and their family’s priorities. Parents and caregivers know their child best.

Services are available across Nova Scotia based on the unique needs of each child and family priorities up until Grade Primary.
