Action Autisme Haute-Côte-Nord Manicouagan

Action Autisme Haute-Côte-Nord Manicouagan is a community organization founded in January 2005 by parents seeking services tailored to families in the region from Tadoussac to Baie-Trinité. Its mission is to help, support, and advise autistic people and their loved ones, with the goal of improving quality of life. Guided by compassion, collaboration, acceptance, trust, and belief in human potential, the organization works to connect families, reduce isolation, and provide practical information and support.

Its services include respite care at home or at the association’s premises, homework assistance, and access to a lending library of specialized materials, educational games, and print or audiovisual resources. The organization also offers specialized training for parents and professionals, activities and workshops that support social and other skills, and financial assistance toward specialized equipment or training outside the region. A day camp is also listed among its services. Families can find guidance about autism-related resources and services, participate in shared activities, and access support designed for both autistic people and their surrounding networks.
