Grant applications for private autism assessments for children aged 4 and under and private psychoeducational assessments for kids up to the age of 19.
Provides grants (up to $3,000 for autism and $4,000 for psycheducational) for funding private autism and psychoeducational assessments for kids under 19 to maximize the benefits they may receive from early intervention. To qualify for the grants, families must meet the following criteria:
  • The grant must be for a child who is between birth and their 19th birthday. (Note: for autism assessment, the child seeking help must be 4 years or under.)
  • The child must be a resident of B.C. or Yukon and must have resided here for a minimum of three months.
  • The child must have a valid Health Care Card.
  • The grant must be for a child with a qualified medical or developmental special need, recognized by a designated professional. (This does not apply to private autism and psychoeducational assessments or mental wellness requests)
  • The family must have limited financial resources to afford the item or service required. (We are currently able to consider requests from households with an annual income of up to $85,000).


Fill out the application and submit by email or standard mail. Please note Families can apply for up to two grants with one application and one set of supporting documents. It is also important to note that Variety only funds private autism assessments provided by a Variety Partner Provider, which offer a charitable rate for Variety families.
