Meet Our Specialists:
Trained professionals who oversee therapy, supervise, and mentor our team of Behavioral Interventionists. They work remotely alongside families from across BC. It's like magic - They train the mentors (BI’s and TA’s) to provide quality therapy in-clinic or community.
They also like to play extreme bocci, but that's a story for another day.

Our Story
Ausome Match Was Built on Optimism & The Belief That
Hard Times Won't Last Forever
Over the years, we’ve watched parents struggle as they went from therapist to therapist only to discover their approach wasn’t working for their child. Combine this with the fact that British Columbia suffers from a lack of autism service providers and we saw an opportunity. We decided to make it our goal to offer better support for kids & teens with autism, and their families, in a way that also supports the therapist. It's a win-win.
Since we started in October 2021, we grew from:
You want the best for your child—so do we! Like, best-best, not silly social norms best.
Meet Stephanie Betsch
Founder, Chief Strategist and RDI Consultant at Ausome Match Autism Services
Meet Stephanie, the visionary behind Ausome Match, serving as its Owner, Chief Strategist, and an esteemed Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) consultant.
Stephanie’s passion for autism support services started with curiosity. She had met parents of little ones with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and was curious to learn more about their unique view of the world. Through hearing the stories of hundreds of families trying to navigate the world of B.C. service providers, Stephanie became aware of the major issue facing these families
While working at one of B.C.’s largest non-profits, Stephanie developed and led social groups and events, managed projects in the Fraser Valley, and became a sought-after advocate on various social issues in the province. She even had the pleasure of meeting with and interviewing regional political figures. It’s with this background that Stephanie created Ausome Match Autism Services and pursued her career as an RDI Consultant.
When not working with her team ...
Steph balances a fun life of friends, adventure, family, kids, and education. She is often in nature in Whistler, at home making sourdough and weird foods, or working on her studies.
Her colleagues call her Sticky Note Steph because, at any given moment, she has 100 sticky notes on the office walls. Steph calls them her “brain explosion”. With a dyslexic mind, she embraces her past, present, and future with a diverse brain that she keeps active and optimistic.

Our Team Think We’re Awesomesauce
Our Team
Our Ausome Team of Speech Language Pathologists, Occupational & Behavioural Therapists
We call ourselves Team Ausome. We’re made up of a bundle of neuro-typical and a-typical professionals from different backgrounds. We have one thing in common, one big audacious goal: to improve the lives of kids, families, and autism therapy service providers.
Over time, our office morning coffee chats became excited talks with spirit-filled brew until we asked ourselves, "What if?"
What if providing autism behavioral services was simpler?
What if service providers wanted to work from home and with like-minded co-workers?
What if parents could stay active in and informed about their child's therapy?
What if everyone felt celebrated?
Our what if's turned into an obsession to change the way BC families saw therapy. This turned into several pilot projects which then turned into Ausome Match Autism Services—an approach to therapy many parents craved.
