What We Do
Programs
Our highly supported programs empower individuals with autism to build the confidence and skills necessary to enjoy a lifetime of sport and physical activity.
Training
Through various training initiatives, we are able to further support individuals with autism and their families by building capacity in their local home communities.
Community Engagement
We strive to promote acceptance, accessibility, and inclusion in community spaces across BC so that individuals with autism and their families will feel understood, accepted and supported in a range of community activities and spaces.
“Ever since we had to start homeschooling, Kaya has struggled with most of the activities that have been assigned to her. With so many kids in her virtual classroom, the instruction isn’t adapted to Kaya’s needs.
She doesn’t get the support she usually does in person. It has been very stressful and exhausting. It wasn’t until CAN started putting their videos out that Kaya finally started to pay attention.
