Our Programs
Our programs are thoughtfully hand‑picked and curated to match each student’s unique strengths, interests, and communication style. We take great care in creating groups where every child is paired with peers who help them feel safe, confident, and inspired. By intentionally designing each cohort, we ensure that every student can participate meaningfully, build authentic connections, and truly thrive within a supportive community.
Life Skills Cooking Program
Our 8‑week Life Skills Cooking Program invites students ages 10 and up to explore the full journey of meal preparation — from choosing recipes and budgeting for groceries, to cooking and sharing meals together. Guided by supportive staff, participants begin with structured teamwork and gradually move toward independent practice, building essential skills in planning, shopping, safety, and self‑advocacy. By the end of the program, students not only gain practical cooking experience but also celebrate their growth in independence, creativity, and community connection.
Emotions Through Art
Emotions Through Art is a small, supportive social group for students ages 6–9 who are learning to understand, name, and express their emotions. Through playful, sensory‑friendly art activities, children explore feelings in ways that feel safe, creative, and accessible. Our facilitators under Speech Therapist's supervision, gently guide students in building emotional awareness, practicing communication, and connecting with peers—all while having fun and expressing themselves through art.
Social Hangouts
Social Hangouts is a playful, relationship‑centered group grounded in the DIR® Floortime Model, where authentic friendships have room to grow. In this program, students connect through shared interests, imaginative play, and meaningful back‑and‑forth interactions—all supported by facilitators who gently scaffold communication, regulation, and social confidence. By creating a space that honours each child’s individuality while nurturing joyful connection, Social Hangouts helps real friendships take root and flourish.
Every Body Plays
Many children are eager to join playground games with their peers, but not fully understanding the rules of simple games can make it tough to jump in. Every Body Plays was created to gently teach those foundational game rules at each child’s own pace, building confidence and making shared play feel easier and more joyful. By breaking games down into clear, accessible steps, we help open the door to smoother peer interactions, more successful participation, and friendships that grow naturally through play.
Simple Baking
This group is created specifically for non‑speaking students who benefit from hands‑on, shared experiences that make communication feel natural and supported.​
Students explore simple, engaging baking projects that invite connection—choosing ingredients, taking turns, sharing tools, and celebrating what they’ve made together. Communication is welcomed in all forms, including AAC, gestures, visuals, and co‑regulated interactions with trusted adults.
