The Children's Treatment Network (CTN) in Ontario, provides a single point of contact for therapy interventions for children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Rather than spending their days taking their children from one therapy to another, the CTN links over 40 health care, education, social services, and recreation facilities in order to provide a team approach to intervention and treatment. This model of a single delivery point begins with the Service Coordinator who helps the family best determine the needs of their child - from "speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and inclusive recreation services" to "paediatric developmental assessments, autism diagnostic assessments, specialty therapy services, aided augmentative and alternative communication, and feeding and swallowing clinics."
