Assists with the cost of getting support. Autism funding helps pay for eligible services or supports that promote skill development for children who have a diagnosis. Changes are coming! Autism Funding ends March 2027. Eligible families shift to the Disability Benefit and expanded free community services starting July 2026. All families will be contacted. New families can still apply until March 2027.
