Last year, Harmony celebrated her 13th birthday with an ECHOage party to make her special day more meaningful.

Having recently been diagnosed with autism, she was thrilled to support Autism Ontario's programs and services!

You can now support Autism Ontario directly through your birthday parties, anniversaries, or any celebration with ECHOage Birthdays. It's the easiest way to give back while you celebrate.

Pour aider un·e enfant autiste à surmonter son anxiété, il est souvent nécessaire d’avoir du soutien et des outils bien pensés. Construisons ensemble ces outils pratiques.
Joignez-vous à Autisme Ontario pour un atelier provincial sur la boîte de bien-être pour adolescent·e·s, conçu pour aider les personnes aidantes à créer une trousse d’outils personnalisée afin de soutenir les jeunes autistes dans la gestion d’anxiété.
Au cours de cette séance interactive, vous découvrirez des stratégies pour aider les ados à reconnaître leurs sentiments et à en parler, et explorerez des idées pour bâtir une boîte de bien-être visant à soutenir la régulation émotionnelle et l’adaptation à la maison.
Cet atelier est ouvert aux familles et aux personnes aidantes de jeunes autistes (de 13 à 17 ans), ainsi qu’aux professionnel·le·s soutenant ce groupe d’âge.
