About the Gold Centre

Personalized, evidence-based therapies for individuals of all ages, delivered either at the Centre or in community settings (home, daycare, school). Models include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), and Verbal Behavior (VB).

A parent-mediated intervention using the Early Start Denver Model, designed for families with young children experiencing developmental delays. This approach empowers caregivers to implement effective strategies during daily routines and play to support communication, social engagement, and joint attention.

Individual and group sessions in visual arts, music, drama, and dance that encourage personal expression, social engagement, and emotional growth.

A diverse selection of over 20 clubs and social activities offered to various age groups, encouraging autonomy, friendship, and enhanced quality of life.

A pre-employment program that helps neurodiverse adults build job readiness skills through structured learning, hands-on training and workplace exposure. The program also guides employers in building inclusive hiring practices.

Workshops and resources for families, educators, and professionals, focusing on behavioral strategies and best practices.

Active participation in clinical research and cross-sector partnerships to develop and evaluate new intervention models.

Through personalized support and inclusive programming, the Gold Centre fosters meaningful growth and community inclusion–helping individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders strengthen their role as active and included members of society.

The Gold Centre is committed to raising public awareness about the signs of autism, from early childhood through adolescence. Our informative poster, adapted from the Canadian Paediatric Society, highlights the main indicators to watch for in preschoolers, school-aged children, and teenagers. It covers:

• Difficulties in communication and social interactions
• Specific and sometimes unusual interests
• Sensory sensitivities (sounds, textures, lights)
• Preference for routines and challenges with unexpected changes
• Difficulties with organization, planning, and independence

This document is designed to support families, professionals, and anyone concerned with neurodevelopmental disorders, providing practical guidance to better understand and support autistic individuals at every stage of life.
