About Children at Risk
At Children at Risk, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We have been providing services in the Greater Ottawa area since 1979, and our mission is to help these children develop their behavioral, communication, and social skills, empowering them to reach their full potential.

Our dedicated team, including our board of directors and volunteers, is committed to providing high-quality programs and services in collaboration with other agencies and organizations in our community.
