GOLD CENTRE
The Gold Centre is a private, not-for-profit centre supported by the Miriam Foundation, with a mission to provide programs and develop services, research and knowledge transfer to support people with autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities.
There are no charges or fees for your initial visit which will last about 30-60 minutes, and it offers parents the chance to see if the clinic is an environment, they can envision their child in. It will also allow parents to see what the use of Verbal Behaviour methods look like in practice.
For this first visit we recommend coming without your child so that parents have time to absorb all of the pertinent information, and to ask questions. Most parents we meet are usually in the early stages of looking for services after having just received a diagnosis, so questions are usually abundant. We look forward to the opportunity to answer them and to offer more information about the difficult next steps of the long road ahead, even if it means directing them to other clinics or practitioners if parents do not see the clinic as appropriate for their child.
Contact us to schedule a tour of our clinic if you are interested in a place for your child.

GOLD CENTRE
The Gold Centre is a private, not-for-profit centre supported by the Miriam Foundation, with a mission to provide programs and develop services, research and knowledge transfer to support people with autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities.
There are no charges or fees for your initial visit which will last about 30-60 minutes, and it offers parents the chance to see if the clinic is an environment, they can envision their child in. It will also allow parents to see what the use of Verbal Behaviour methods look like in practice.
For this first visit we recommend coming without your child so that parents have time to absorb all of the pertinent information, and to ask questions. Most parents we meet are usually in the early stages of looking for services after having just received a diagnosis, so questions are usually abundant. We look forward to the opportunity to answer them and to offer more information about the difficult next steps of the long road ahead, even if it means directing them to other clinics or practitioners if parents do not see the clinic as appropriate for their child.
Contact us to schedule a tour of our clinic if you are interested in a place for your child.
