Volunteer with QuickStart
Do you want to make a difference in your community and support local autism families? If yes, we need your help
QuickStart — Early Intervention for Autism (QuickStart Autism) is a grassroots charity that began in Ottawa in 2010 with the mission to assist children in reaching their full potential by helping the children obtain early intervention at the first signs of autism. QuickStart Autism raises awareness and initiates programs to cut wait-times, build capacity, and promote improvements in early identification and intervention.
