Geneva Centre International Symposium
on Autism

The logo and the text below are copied and pasted from the Geneva Centre For Autism website at www.autism.net

Imagine living in a world where you are constantly bombarded with messages that you don’t understand, where you can’t find the words to express yourself and where you continually feel a sense of loneliness and isolation. This is the reality that many children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face every day.

At Geneva Centre for Autism, our services build skills in children so they can realize their potential. Working in partnership with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services and other community partners, we develop and deliver a wide range of innovative services that meet the unique needs of children on the Autism spectrum. These services are provided by a multi-disciplinary team that includes psychologists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists and behavioural therapists.

HOW TO GET STARTED The point of entry to access Geneva Centre for Autism's services is done by calling the Centre at 416 322 7877. Your call will be directed to the appropriate department.


Ron was referred to the Geneva Centre For Autism by the Hospital for Sick Children right after he was diagnosed with autism Asperger Syndrome and from thereon started his journey into the world of autism. It was the Sick Kids hospital's Children Development Centre (CDC) who referred Ron to the Geneva Centre for Autism. With their wide array of experience, their involvement has placed Ron's developmental needs in perspective and context. (Notes from Ron's parents)

The Geneva Centre Asperger Program is designed to meet the specific needs of individuals with Asperger Syndrome between the ages of 12 and 18 years and their families. The program comprises the following elements:

®Individualized consultation with members of a multidisciplinary team including:

lSpeech and Language Pathologists lOccupational Therapists lBehaviour/Communication Consultants lDevelopmental Paediatrician lBehavioural Psychologist

®Series Workshops: Parent training on topics including behaviour, social communication and independent daily living.

®Groups: Teen groups focusing on learning social boundaries, building self-esteem and coping with anger and anxiety.  

The Geneva Centre provided Ron with workshop for us and Ron's caregiver with behavioural intervention therapy and skill building workshops using music and social skills teaching strategies., Ron with his caregiver attended workshops to learn group skills through music, role-playing, and performance. Ron and his parents were introduced to, and explored the use of a variety of musical instruments to learn, take turns, and to share experiences and enjoyment with others. All these were facilitated by a Music Therapist, a Social Skill-Building Group Facilitator, and supported by a volunteer.
