ACT is Canada’s leading independent, not-for-profit, specializing in providing Autistic people and their families, as well as professionals with evidence-informed resources to support the autism and diverse needs community with the information and training they need.

Since the pandemic disruptions of 2020, ACT has focused on supporting families and autistic individuals through the COVID-19 crisis, while sustaining our online information and training resources that we have developed with the support of the autism community since 2005. For details of our strategy to continue supporting families and professionals with evidence-informed, community focused resources, see the Support Us page.
