Possible topics can include: helping your child transition on/off the bus; successfully transitioning to school in the morning/after school routine; supporting your child in remote learning; supporting your child to complete homework; promoting consistency between home and school and using visuals to teach routines.

Secret Agent Society is a spy-themed group-based cognitive behavioural therapy program for kids 8-12 years old that targets emotional regulation and social functioning. It teaches children how to: recognize emotions; express their feelings in appropriate ways; cope with feelings of anger and anxiety; communicate and play with others; cope with mistakes, transitions, and problems; prevent and manage bullying and teasing; and acknowledge their personal strengths. This group involves child and parent/caregiver participation. This program is facilitated by Autism Therapists and supervised by a Registered Psychologist. A screening will be completed in order to determine whether this group is clinically appropriate. Parents/caregivers who are interested should contact us by July 31st to book a screening appointment.

Filling out funding applications can be difficult. This workshop provides a step-by-step review of completing the Special Services at Home (SSAH) funding application. The SSAH program supports families who are caring for a child with a developmental disability and/or a physical disability. The funding for this program can be used towards personal development and growth and/or family relief and support. The amount of funding a family receives is dependent on the type and amount of service the child requires, what other assistance is available in the community, and what kind of support is already being received by the family.

Our Speech and Language Services will explore your child’s strengths and needs in the domains of speech, language, and communication. Through your active
participation in sessions, you will be taught how to apply strategies to support your child learning to communicate with people. All Speech and Language Services are with a Speech-Language Pathologist (S-LP). Speech and Language Services may be eligible for reimbursement from private insurance providers.

This intake assessment is completed by a S-LP and is used to evaluate your child’s unique skills and abilities in speech, language, and communication. The S-LP will meet with you to review a written report which will provide strategies and make recommendations regarding therapy.

Following a Speech and Language Assessment,  these therapy sessions offer strategies to facilitate your child’s speech, language, and communication skills. Resources and materials will be provided to support practice at home. Recommendations by our S-LPs may include information related to location of therapy, number of hours, staffing levels, parent/caregiver involvement, and number of goals. Cost will vary depending on service plan.
