Early Childhood Services (PUF) @ Centre for Autism Services Alberta

Early Childhood Services (PUF) supports children with special needs in community preschools, nursery schools, daycares, and Kindergartens, giving them the greatest opportunity for success.​ Being included in a community with typically-developing children can help autistic kids to naturally develop their social and life skills, and, more importantly to make friends. For children aged 5 and under. The Centre is an approved provider of Alberta’s Early Childhood Services program which supports children with special needs in our on-site program or in community Kindergartens giving them the greatest opportunity for success. Children with autism benefit from trained staff who provide evidence based support within an inclusive educational setting, available for a duration of up to three years. The focus is on developing a student’s skills in all areas including social, emotional, communication, self-advocacy and overall life skills. If your child is receiving Specialized Services at the Centre, we will coordinate your services and PUF program through your Centre team, simplifying communication and ensuring consistency.
