OAP, Passport and insurance: which applies to us?
A quick guide to the three most common ways families pay for therapy in Ontario.
Ontario Autism Program (OAP)
For autistic children and youth under 18. Families register through AccessOAP and receive an allocation to purchase eligible services.
Passport
For adults 18+ with a developmental disability. It can pay for community participation, life skills and caregiver respite.
Private health insurance
Workplace benefits often cover services from registered clinicians like RSWs, RPs and OTs. ABA coverage varies by plan.
