PALS Autism Society

PALS Autism Society is a specialized elementary and secondary school in British Columbia for children and adolescents with autism, accompanied by a licensed before and after school care program.

The school uses the proven Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) method to provide core education, life skills and socials skills as a foundation for independence.

PALS was founded in 2007 by five mothers of children with autism and complex developmental disabilities. These mothers believed that adequate programming did not exist to meet the special needs of their children, and for many other children across the province.

PALS is dedicated to effective and efficient teaching paired with innovative and proven behaviour management tools in a caring setting.

At the 2011, 2017, and 2023 External Evaluation performed by Ministry of Education inspectors, the committee consistently commended PALS Autism School for the:

Quality of educational leadership provided by the Head of School to ensure student success

Communication and collaboration that occurs between and among staff, administration and parents

Knowledge and integrity with which the educational approach, based on the principles of ABA, is carried out by all

Calmness and positive attitude that the staff have with students at all times, regardless of the difficult behavioural situations that may arise

Extensive use of technology to support student learning

Full participation in the Safety-Care training and ongoing skill maintenance to ensure the care, welfare, safety and security of students and staff.
