New Haven, founded in 1998, is a charitable, non-profit organization committed to being a Centre of Excellence in the treatment and education of children, youth, and young adults with autism and related disorders. The Centre's efforts are directed toward improving the education and quality of life for its students, clients, and their caregivers. Our mission is to contribute to the development of Canadian expertise in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) intervention by raising awareness and providing training and education to parents, professionals and the community. Among the first of only a few centres in Canada to offer an ABA program, New Haven has become the prototype for how to best understand the disorder and treat children who are affected. Children's health professionals consider the New Haven Learning Centre to be the "gold standard in Canada".
