Provincial Preschool Autism Services

The Provincial Preschool Autism Service (PPAS) is a partnership between IWK Health, Nova Scotia Health, Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia, and Autism Nova Scotia. It provides person- and family-centred services to preschoolers across Nova Scotia who are suspected of or have a diagnosis of autism. The goal is a sustainable, integrated continuum of health services that follows a needs-based model responsive to the individual needs of children and their families.

Services include a range of interventions and supports. Service streams include :

  • Clinical intake and care coordination
  • Family and health professional education
  • QuickStart NS parent coaching toddler program
  • Autism diagnostic assessment
  • Interprofessional autism interventions (focused interventions based on care pathways and manualized comprehensive programs)
  • A 12-month intensive intervention for children with the greatest social communication and behaviour needs (formerly EIBI)
  • Transition to school supports

Services and programs are flexible and scalable based on the needs and progress of each child and family. The goal of all interventions is to empower caregivers to support their child’s development.
