Since 2005, ACT has devoted much of our energy into organizing our online resources to be accessible to B.C.’s large autism and diverse needs community – wherever they live. Families, and the community professionals who support them, use our comprehensive range of evidence-informed information, as well as links to local resources from dentists to horseback riding, 24/7, 365 days a year.
While ACT’s expertise is in the area of autism, autism is rarely ‘just autism’, so we have gathered information, relevant across the lifespan, that can be keyword searched, including information on other diverse needs and in multiple languages.
ACT no longer receives funding from the B.C. government to maintain these information resources. If you find this information useful, please consider donating or sponsoring ACT. See Support ACT for details on how to donate.
