The Victoria Society for Children with Autism (VSCA) supports children with autism and their families in a number of ways. We have monthly meetings where members can get a chance to talk with other parents, hear the occasional guest speaker, and sign out books, DVD’s, OT equipment and educational materials from our lending library. Through our newsletter, you’ll find out about the latest happenings at VSCA and in the Victoria area. There is also a small pool of respite funding available to our members. VSCA holds several workshops each year on autism-related topics - these already-inexpensive events are available at a reduced price to our members, and are always held here in Victoria. VSCA holds social events to allow families to meet one another in a supportive and understanding environment. We offer a range of activities so there are events that will appeal to children of all ages, and give them a chance to form friendships with peers sharing similar interests.
