Our therapeutic summer camp programs had the most exciting visit today from - with not only 👮🏽‍♂️👮🏼‍♀️human officers, but also 🐴 equine and 🐶canine officers joining the fun!

Huge thanks to PC Sansalone (riding RHLI), Sgt Rodger (riding Lincoln) with their beautiful Percheron horses, and Officer Stone (with Steel the German Shepherd) for sharing your time and skills with us today.

Getting to know our first responders in familiar, supported environments sets kids up for safe, positive relationships with our emergency service providers - who are there for us in the scariest moments of our lives - and the more we can share about neurodivergent minds and the different responses they may have under stress, the better prepared our emergency responders will be to understand and adapt their approach to serving & protecting 🧠 Minds of All Kinds in our community.

🤯 Your brain isn't broken. It just might work differently than most tests bother to look for. And if you have mental health benefits, you probably also have the SLP benefits that cover this handy little assessment for 'ADHD-ish' minds!

The FAVRES assessment skips the standard attention tests and goes straight to real life - planning an event, scheduling a workday, working through a practical problem - to map out how you actually think when things get complex.

It's not a diagnosis; it's a practical picture of how your particular brain navigates real situations, and what that actually means for your day-to-day.

Administered by our Speech Language Pathologist, who can work with your therapist to help you put the 'So What?' into action!

Built for anyone managing ADHD-ish challenges who wants more than a label.

FAVRES is a helpful tool for:

* High school & university students
* Adults managing households, parenting, & careers
* Anyone 14+ who wants to map out their unique processing profile

Meet the skilled Therapeutic Coaches supporting our summer camps - Bram, Adi, Maddie, Max, Jackson, Caelen and Jonathan. They're joined by regular guest stars from our therapeutic team, supervising social workers Maureen and Sarah .family.architect, camp chef Sarah , and a host of animal friends as they use play and nature immersion to help kids explore, connect, learn, problem-solve, and celebrate minds of all kinds at SkillBuilders Summer Camp in Ancaster!

This supportive, low-ratio therapeutic camp helps elementary-aged kids who thrive in more individuated, smaller group settings with more choice and support than traditional summer camps can offer.

There is so much skill, passion, and Autism-specialized experience jammed into our incredible PowerUp team! PowerUp is our developmental day program, offering a meaningful alternative to conventional ABA programs for Autistic kids and tweens.
