Wish list: https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/1CQTSCHDVDCKI?ref_=wl_share

Love to spin 🌀? So do our kiddos 🧒! Spinning can help kids with autism regulate their sensory systems when they feel overwhelmed, which can be a big help in the classroom. We’re currently looking for sensory toy donations from our community, so please share our post with anyone who may be able to help! We also have an Amazon wishlist if you’d like some ideas or you’d like to donate directly!

Every day our team works with neurodiverse children, a vulnerable population that deserves care and compassion. On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognized all of the Indigenous children who never received the care they deserved. With reconciliation in mind, we will continue to support and empower the children of our community to be proud of who they are in the face of adversity. Every child matters.

Looking for services but not sure where to start 🤔? Stuck on a waitlist but need help now 😵‍💫? Check out our caregiver education series! This remote and affordable video series is a perfect introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and how it can help you and your family (without breaking the bank)!

While it may seem daunting to dive into the field of ABA, our series is presented by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who understands the importance of involving caregivers in their child’s programming. That’s why our series focuses on providing caregivers like you with the tools to get started today!

This series was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS).
