What is the Provincial Autism Resource Centre (PARC)?
The Provincial Autism Resource Centre, or PARC, is at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in Vancouver. PARC was opened in May 2003. The team at PARC assesses and diagnoses children and youth with autism. PARC also works with other health groups and teaches about ASD. The PARC team includes nurses, social workers, pediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. Some of these people used to work for the Sunny Hill Autism Spectrum Resource Team, or for the Mental Health Program at BC Children’s hospital.
