After numerous schedule changes over the summer, and the beginning of the school year always being a struggle, I have decided to add a calendar on the website. It will be updated as needed to reduce the amount of times I have to repost the schedule. Any updates due to private sessions, respite, or personal appointments with be reflected in the calendar. I am hoping that by the end of September, we can implement consistent hours again.

I am in the process of adding in Sunday’s again, but would like to get through the first month of school prior to doing so, as I myself am finishing off a course and want to make sure there are no changes with that as well.

Thank you for your continued support and patience 🤍

In preparation for back to school, registration is officially open on the website for our friendship groups. These will be taking place on Monday evenings from 5-6pm starting September 8, and are a great way for children to connect with others and work on their social and communication skills. This is also an opportunity for parents/caregivers to have an hour to themselves to run errands, or just sit in their car and read a book. Looking forward to these being beneficial for everyone again!

Please reach out with any questions you may have!
