SERVING LESLIEVILLE AND TORONTO'S EAST END
Autism Therapy in Leslieville: In-Home ABA and Behavioural Support
If you’re raising a child with autism in Leslieville, you already know this neighbourhood was built for families: the storytime sessions at the Leslieville library, the playground at Greenwood Park, the busy mornings getting to school along Queen East. What you may not have found yet is autism therapy that fits into that life rather than pulling your child out of it.
That’s exactly what I provide.
I’m Amy Simon, founder of Mini Minds and a Senior Behaviour Therapist with over 15 years of experience. I work directly with Leslieville families, in your home and your child's school, so support happens where your child actually lives and learns.
In-Home Autism Therapy Across Leslieville
There’s no clinic to drive to. I bring therapy to your home, whether you are near Greenwood Park, just off Carlaw, or closer to the Riverside border. For children with autism, this matters more than it sounds.
Skills learned at an unfamiliar clinic often do not carry over to real life. Skills built at your kitchen table, in your child's own playroom, or at the neighbourhood park stick, because that is where your child will use them.
In-home therapy also removes a real barrier for busy Leslieville parents. No commute, no waiting room, no disruption to your child's routine. I work around your family's schedule, not the other way around.
IN-HOME THERAPY
WHY LESLIEVILLE FAMILIES CHOOSE MINI MINDS
A Therapist Who Truly Knows Your Child
Your child works directly with me, every single session. Not a rotating team. Not a junior therapist assigned after the first assessment. This is the difference between a boutique practice and a large clinic, and for many families it is everything. It means consistency, a real relationship, and a senior therapist who genuinely knows your child. It also means no long waitlists. In most cases, Leslieville families can begin within a few weeks.
Supporting Leslieville Children at Home and School
Many Leslieville children attend Leslieville Junior Public School, Morse Street, Bruce, or Duke of Connaught. When it helps your child, I collaborate directly with teachers and school staff, offering practical strategies they can use in the classroom for focus, transitions, and peer interaction. When home and school use the same approach, children progress faster.
I tailor everything to your child. Some children need help with communication and daily routines. Others need support managing big emotions, building friendships, or handling change. I meet your child where they are and build from there.
My approach combines ABA therapy, CBT, and play-based methods, matched to what your child actually needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Leslieville Behaviour Therapy
Do you provide autism therapy in my Leslieville home?
Yes. I deliver in-home therapy throughout Leslieville and the surrounding east-end neighbourhoods, including Riverside and the Riverdale and Beaches borders. Sessions happen wherever your child is most comfortable.
Do you work with Leslieville schools?
Yes. When it benefits your child, I collaborate with local teachers and school staff to keep strategies consistent between home and the classroom, in both public schools like TDSB and private schools alike.
Is Mini Minds an OAP provider?
No, Mini Minds is a private practice and is not an Ontario Autism Program provider. Many families use private insurance reimbursement or medical expense tax claims to offset costs, and I provide detailed receipts for both.
How quickly can we start?
Because there are no funding approvals or waitlists, most Leslieville families can begin within a few days of the free consultation!
