Autism Ontario’s summer funding application is now open 🥳

The One-to-One Summer Support Worker Reimbursement Fund is available to Ontario families of autistic children or youth who retain the services of a one-to-one worker to accompany their child to a camp or program or out on community outings.

Maximum reimbursements of $600, per child or youth, (up to 18th birthday) will be made to subsidize services between July and August.

A minimum of 500 children from across Ontario are expected to receive reimbursement. Reimbursement will be provided based on a random selection made from all eligible applicants who apply.

Most parents we work with say the same thing:

“I didn’t even know where to start.”

Funding applications like ACSD, SSAH, and DTC can be confusing, time-consuming, and honestly… exhausting.

That’s exactly why The Community Nest exists.

We walk with you through the entire process—so you can focus on your child, not the paperwork.

💜 One-on-one support
💜 Step-by-step guidance
💜 Application review & completion help
