What if every child could be celebrated for who they are while learning the skills to thrive? For over a decade, Sunshine Learning Centre has been making that vision a reality for neurodivergent children and young adults across Durham Region. Since 2010, Sunshine Learning Centre has been a trusted partner for families seeking compassionate, evidence-based support for children, youth, and young adults with diverse needs. What began as a small centre in Uxbridge, founded by Elisha Chesler, has grown into a well-respected organization led by Jesenia Duran.

Sunshine has supported up to 200 families, with clients ranging in age from 2 to 21 years old. After moving to Ajax and later expanding into Whitby, Sunshine is proud to announce the opening of a new location in Brooklin, Whitby. At Sunshine Learning Centre, the focus is on providing individualized supports that empower clients to build meaningful life skills. In addition to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy, the centre offers a wide range of services, including speech therapy,
occupational therapy, sensory-friendly dental cleanings, psychotherapy, group programs, online courses, early intervention, school readiness, parent coaching, and life skills programming.

Sunshine’s values have remained consistent throughout its growth: compassion, televisibility (being proud to showcase their work on a big screen), and empathy. Sunshine believes in affirming the identities of neurodivergent individuals, ensuring that each person is respected and supported in ways that celebrate their unique selves.

“Our mission has always been to help individuals with neurodivergence feel affirmed and build the independence they need to succeed. We are not here to ‘change’ or ‘cure,’ but rather to embrace each individual’s personality and enhance their skills so they can thrive in everyday life,” said Director Jesenia Duran. “With the new Brooklin location, we also hope to reach communities where services are extremely limited, such as rural areas like Port Perry, Uxbridge, Scugog, and Bowmanville.”

Looking to the future, Sunshine Learning Centre envisions expanding its reach across Ontario and beyond, supporting more neurodivergent individuals while promoting awareness and acceptance.

The organization is committed to reducing barriers for families in rural and remote areas. Sunshine Learning Centre has remained committed to its vision of building brighter futures for children and young adults through respect, compassion, and evidence-based care.

Halloween can be a little tricky for neurodivergent children, especially those on the autism spectrum. This festive activity can be impacted by challenges with communication, sensory sensitivities, and fine or gross motor skills.

At Sunshine Learning Centre, in the weeks leading up to Halloween, we support our learners who celebrate by practicing trick-or-treating! Each child takes turns approaching a door in the centre, knocking, waiting, saying “trick or treat,” choosing a peanut-free, gelatin-free, or non-edible treat, and saying “thank you.”

Throughout this program, we’ve noticed a few common challenges that some of our learners continue to work on—and that’s perfectly okay! Every child learns at their own pace. We’re sharing these observations to help our community understand how to support and include all children this Halloween.

🎃 Happy treating from all of us at Sunshine! 🍬
