About US
Strengths-based ~ Neurodiversity-affirming Relationship-focused
Family-Centered Collaboration
We work together with families to create support plans that are realistic, adaptable, and aligned with your child’s needs. You're never out of the loop, we believe in open communication and a team-based approach.
Educational Support
We offer personalized learning support for kids and teens, whether they’re in public school, home learning, distance ed, or unschooling. From subject help to focus and executive functioning, we meet each learner where they’re at with flexible, confidence building support.
Social Skills Development
We support children and teens in developing communication skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in social situations. Through games, guided peer interactions, and real world practice, we help build connection and self esteem. Our sessions often include community based activities, like visiting local businesses, navigating public spaces, or volunteering to help youth feel more comfortable and capable in the world around them.
Life Skills Development
From cooking and gardening to budgeting and basic household routines, our life skills sessions are hands-on, practical, and fun. We help youth gain independence, confidence, and real world experience through activities that support everyday living.
1:1 & Small Group Sessions
We offer both personalized one-on-one support and inclusive small group sessions that focus on connection, creativity, and growth. Sessions are welcoming, flexible, and built around each child’s interests and goals.
Seasonal Programs & Camps
Our seasonal programs blend social connection, sensory-friendly fun, and skill-building through engaging activities like cooperative games, creative challenges, and real world experiences. Each camp, or session, is designed to help kids try new things, build confidence, and connect with others, all in a supportive and inclusive environment.
