More than 50 Years of Making a Difference
Decades ago, a handful of families came together because they wanted something special and lasting for their children. Naming the Centre after an international conference on autism that took place in Geneva, Switzerland, their determination created a place where understanding and inclusion could grow. That legacy still shapes everything we do today.
Over the decades, GCA has evolved and expanded to meet new needs. In 2004, we moved into our home, 112 Merton Street, and that move marked a turning point. From there, we’ve continued to evolve, now with two Merton Street sites, and, as of this past year, a third location in Toronto’s east end. Opening our new site at 3036 Danforth Avenue in April 2024l has been one of our most notetable milestones.
Every year, our clinical and recreation programs help thousands of child, teen, and adult clients and their families. Programs range from fully govenment funded to OAP or Passport paid. Participants in school readiness, practical life and social skills, employment, camps, and respite all thrive thanks to the care and dedication of our highly trained BCBA's and front-line staff.
Geneva Centre for Autism, is proud to be a registered charity meeting those on the spectrum where they are at.
