CAN is launching a membership program for service providers who work with individuals affected by ASD. By becoming a member of CAN, service providers have access to the CAN Provincial Resource Centre (PRC), a collection of over 600 autism-related books, DVDs and games available for loan throughout British Columbia. Resources are shipped free-of-charge with return shipping included. Members are also welcome to visit the CAN office during regular office hours to browse the collection.
Service Providers can sign up for an Individual Membership ($10/year) or a Group Membership ($25/year). Members who would like to continue accessing the PRC must submit payment on a yearly basis (one year from the initial application date). The Group Membership is ideal for schools, companies, or institutions that have multiple staff members who are interested in borrowing from the Provincial Resource Centre. One person is assigned to be the administrator of the account, and all subsequent members who want to access the PRC must fill out an application under that primary account.

CAN recognizes any professional who plays a supportive role in the lives of individuals affected by autism including, but not limited to:
