BC Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD)

This webpage provides information about a Behavioural Plan of Intervention which looks at where a child is now, identifies areas that require support and then outlines specific goals for the child to work towards. It is written by a behavior consultant in collaboration with the parents and other professionals.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) provides Autism Funding to families who have a child or youth with an eligible ASD diagnosis. There are two Autism Funding programs. The Under Age 6 program provides families with access to $22,000/year and the Ages 6-18 program provides families with access to $6,000/year. Children and youth with ASD and other developmental disabilities are also eligible for other services and supports through MCFD, such as Early Intervention Therapies, School-Aged Therapies, Infant Development, Supported Child Development and Family Support Services, including respite.
