Ontario Autism Program

All services and programs at The Lighthouse Learning and Development Centre are evidenced based practices. Two types of OAP programming are available at The Lighthouse, 1:1 Intervention and our small group programming. These programs include services such as planning and goal-setting, assessments, team meetings, 1:1 or group intervention, family/caregiver training, consultation services, and consultation with other professionals.

Our Approach

With the new regulations of the Ontario Autism Program (OAP), Clinical Supervisors can either be a Clinical Psychologists or BCBA (Board Certified Behaviour Analysis). At The Lighthouse, we have chosen to have all of our autism programs overseen by a BCBA who is also an Ontario Certified Teacher with a background in Autism. We believe that the level of education and experience combined with a background in both autism and education that our BCBA has is necessary to the success of our programming. The BCBA on staff oversees both 1:1 intervention and the small group programming. Supervision hours will be determined on an ongoing basis between the BCBA and the Senior Therapist. Supervision hours will be based on the amount of programming, 1:1 vs small group. The assessments that the programming is based on and the presence of any behaviours.
