There are a handful of spots left in our winter therapeutic D&D campaigns on Sundays and Thursdays in Ancaster, including a 4-week mini-campaign (Thursdays, Feb 5 - Mar 1) for new players who want to learn the basics before diving into a full program.

But why choose role-playing games as therapeutic vehicles? Because D&D at NowWhat ...

Quote of the day from a staff member: "NowWhat makes it pretty hard to have an uninteresting day at the clinic."

Thanks for the visit, Penelope Pig! 🐽

We're not crying, you're crying .... sending a huge thank you to the talented grandfather of one of our young clients who crafted this stunning stained-glass likeness of our hamster, Peanut Butter, for the clinic. What a thoughtful and creative gift - it has been hung where PB himself can admire it daily, and will be enjoyed by all our visitors for years to come! 🙏

Our incredible PowerUp team wore their feelings 'Inside Out' for Halloween ... these are the beautiful humans who pour their energy, care, creativity and considerable talent into our Mon-Thurs therapeutic day program for elementary aged kiddos with layered support needs (communication, functional, sensory, social, emotional).

Happy halloween! Fingers crossed the weather dries up for the kids tonight!

The teens in NowIRL learned how to feed 8 people for under $20 - delicious homemade black bean burgers and excellent garlic fries (sadly not pictured but very much enjoyed)! On an unrelated note, they also learned how to reset smoke alarms.

Hank, our cherished hamster, passed away peacefully after a long life of playfulness and endless exploration.

Hank was known as one of our most popular and “coolest” hamsters, where he welcomed countless kiddos and staff with patience. He never nipped, never rushed, and always allowed little hands to hold him with trust.

He loved nothing more than basking in his sunlit loft after a hearty meal, sometimes deciding to find a Houdini-level escape hatch in a series of increasingly secure cages, setting off to roam every corner of his colourful world and slipping away on mysterious expeditions that, without fail, concluded in the basement.

Hank’s gentle nature brightened the clinic each day and kids left with smiles because of him. His presence made our space warmer and kinder.

Hank will always be remembered at NowWhat for the joy he brought, the comfort he gave, and the laughter he inspired.

Thank you, Hank, for all the light you brought to our clinic.

Pic below - like many of us, Hank loved to snuggle up in his cozy bedding before starting his day!

Every human has unique and important things to bring to the world. Maybe, sometimes, it's the world that needs to change ... not the human. Check out this beautiful video about a young person making their voice heard - a perfect way to celebrate Assistive and Alternative Communication (AAC) awareness month this October!
