Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital doctoral researcher Amanda Chan is inviting autistic children and their families to share their voices in a study on how schoolyards can be made more inclusive and supportive for everyone.

If you or your child (ages 5 to 12) have an autism diagnosis and attend a public school in the Greater Toronto Area, your insights can help shape how schoolyards are designed and used, making them more welcoming and accessible for all children.

Children can share their thoughts through art activities such as photo-taking, drawing or poetry, followed by a short interview. Caregivers will also have an opportunity to share their experiences through an interview and optional art activities.

Participants will receive a gift card as a thank-you, and travel costs will be reimbursed.

To learn more or sign up, contact amanda.chan@hollandbloorview.ca

November 11 marks , a time for Canadians to honour those who served and sacrificed in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping. At Grandview Kids, we recognize the importance of remembering and reflecting on the sacrifices made by those who served in defence of peace.

Mitchell Daniels, Grandview Kids’ Ability Acceptance Presenter and Archivist, shares the history of the Harwood Trail, named after Admiral Henry Harwood, who led Allied forces during the Second World War.

Today, in honour of those who served and sacrificed in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping, Grandview Kids gathered virtually across all its sites for a moment of silence and a reading of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." At The Jerry Coughlan Building, flags are flying at half-mast in recognition of Remembrance Day.

May we continue to honour the legacy of those who served by carrying forward the values of courage, compassion and peace in all that we do.

In this month’s edition of Gather by Grandview Kids, we celebrate the Extensive Needs Services (ENS)’ second anniversary! The ENS program supports more than 1,100 children and youth with complex needs each year, including a family with triplets living with autism, ADHD and sensory challenges. On the Grandview Kids blog, we highlight how collaboration and compassion have transformed a pilot project into a model for child-centred care across Ontario.

We also honour by featuring twins, Zander and Elliott, Grandview Kids clients who were born premature and faced early medical challenges. With support from their family and Grandview Kids, Zander and Elliot have grown stronger each year, finding joy and confidence on the ice. Their story reminds us how determination and care can turn challenges into milestones, inspiring others to reach their full potential.

This edition also features photo galleries from the Family Engagement Team’s events last month, including the Pumpkin Palooza and Accessible Trick-or-Treating. You’ll also find details about upcoming events from the Family Engagement Team and the Ajax Public Library.

Read all of this and more in the November edition of Gather via https://ow.ly/CvaH50XoF5A. You can also subscribe to Gather through the link to stay updated on news and events at the Centre!
