The Kamloops Autism Program (K.A.P.) provides centre based Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI), for children up to age six, that have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The program is based on evidence that early behavioural intervention between two and six years of age demonstrates the best outcomes.
Please refer to our handouts on this page for more information about Autism or to our Autism Resources page for more information about diagnosis, research and community resources.
K.A.P. provides a multidisciplinary child and family centered program that identifies each child’s individual strengths and needs. The program builds upon these skills and competencies in a positive and supportive way. The goals of the program are to enable children diagnosed with ASD to achieve maximum independence and to enjoy the highest possible quality of life within their family and community.
If you feel that the Kamloops Autism Program would help your child and your child already has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, you can contact Gary Unser, KAP Manager at (250) 371-4100 ext. 208 for more information.
If you suspect that your child has Autism , please speak to your doctor.
R.E.S.T. Workshop
We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
