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 families living with autism by building capacity in their local home communities.
Awareness
We strive to foster awareness and understanding of autism to create more inclusive environments where families living with autism can feel understood, accepted, and supported in a range of community activities and spaces.

“The programs are so well designed for children to make them feel comfortable in a fun recreational setting. I feel like their unique needs and strengths are being celebrated rather than accommodated. Everything aspect of the program is so well designed and you can tell a tremendous amount of thought has gone into the structure of the programs.”
