Regional Autism Centre

At the South West Chapter of Autism Nova Scotia, we provide service navigation, programming, and family support to Autistic individuals/individuals with autism in Yarmouth, Digby, and Shelburne counties.

Our chapter promotes education and acceptance and provides an inclusive, non-judgmental atmosphere where our members can participate in rewarding social activities and programs that may otherwise not be possible.

In collaboration with community partners, Autism Nova Scotia’s South West Chapter is proud to offer various programs and supports to our region, including:

• Caregiver Support Group
• Art Night
• Autism Arts
• YACRO Summer Respite Day Camp
• Sensory Room
• Lending Library
• Person Directed Planning Program
• Adaptive Swim Lessons
• Adult Recreation Program
• Try-It Sports

In partnership with Yarmouth Recreation, we are offering a new Try-It Sports program designed for autistic individuals to try different sports. A program facilitator and volunteers will assist with each sport and all equipment is provided.
