AUTISM FUNDING

We Accept Autism Funding for Counselling Services

​

Note: You must first apply for AFU and receive a letter of approval before starting the counselling process with us

NOTE: All Autism funding clients must have a credit card on file for no-show or late cancelation fees because Autism Funding does not cover the cost of these sessions.

 

Autism Funding Policy

​

At The Neurodiversity Family Centre, we understand the importance of providing accessible and comprehensive support for Autistic individuals and their families. To facilitate the process of utilizing Autism Funding (AFU) for our services, we have outlined a clear set of steps to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for our clients.

 

If you have been approved for Autism Funding (AFU) and would like to use it at The Neurodiversity Family Centre (NDFC), please follow these steps carefully.

​

Step 1: Choose Your Practitioner

  • You have the freedom to select your preferred registered practitioner for support. View practitioners here.

​

Step 2: Submit Our Referral Form

  • Complete our referral form here.

  • Be sure to specify your chosen practitioner and indicate that you plan to use Autism Funding for payment.

​

Step 3: Submit Your AFU Approval Letter

  • Provide a copy of your AFU approval letter to our intake coordinator via E-mail.

​

Step 4: Submit a "Request to Pay" (RTP) for Approval

  • Our intake coordinator will provide you with the necessary information to submit a Request to Pay (RTP) for NDFC through your online Autism Funding portal.

  • Submit the RTP through your Parental Portal for the fastest approval.

  • Send us proof of your RTP submission, ensuring it includes The Neurodiversity Family Centre or Mary Klovance as the provider, along with the requested dates.

  • You can also download the RTP form from the Autism Funding website and submit it via mail or fax, but you will have to await approval before beginning sessions, and approval will take longer.

​

Step 5: Complete the NDFC Funding Consent Form

  • You will receive a Funding Consent Form through JaneApp. This form authorizes the NDFC to charge your credit card for:

    • No-shows

    • Late cancellations

    • Sessions that AFU does not cover (in rare cases)

​

Step 6: Confirm & Book Your Intake Session

  • Once Steps 1-5 are complete, you can book your parental intake session with your chosen practitioner.

  • Alternatively, you may wait until NDFC is officially added as an approved provider before booking.

​

Step 7: Important Timing Considerations

  • If AFU approval is not received within 3 weeks after your intake session, your credit card on file will be charged for all completed sessions.

  • If approval comes through later, we may be able to refund these charges, subject to a processing fee.
