About Our Services for Children:

 

All our services are available to those who identify as neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, gifted, a.o.) with/without official diagnosis and their families. We also welcome anyone who is unsure about their identity and would like to learn more about the neurodiversity movement. 


Our aim is to provide a relaxed space where neurodivergent children can explore their talents, connect with other kids and have fun. Parents are welcome to join and they are also free to use this time for themselves.

  • Interest driven learning  -  we know that neurodivergent learners are often autodidactic leaners and so our summer sessions will provide interest driven learning and plenty of chances for self teaching 
  • Sensory friendly -  Every care is taken to provide a sensory environment that our children will thrive in 
  • Collaborative approach - we value the lessons our children teach us just as much as the lessons we can share with them 
  • Strengths based approach - We see the amazing abilities in our children and our uniquely designed programs foster these strengths so children grow in confidence
  • Evidence-based strategies/ approaches - Our work is rooted in neuro-affirmative practices and are aligned with the Neurodivergent Community. We use evidence-based approaches that work best with Neurodivergent children 
  • Neurodivergent-led guidance on design - We value the voices of the communities we serve and have designed our program with guidance from Neurodivergent adults 

Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in giving back to your community? We are always looking for volunteers to help with our programs and events. Whether you have a few hours or a few days to spare, we have opportunities for all skill levels. Contact us today to learn more!
