Chanukah didn't start the way any of us wanted it to.

We find comfort in good books, so we've placed this in our waiting room.

We’ve seen so much light we might have missed if we didn’t do this work and know the kids we do.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for sharing their light with us.

Happy Hanukkah.

❄️ When the weather outside is frightful… here’s our snow-day policy! ❄️

1. We’ll be here whenever we safely can.
A snow day doesn’t always mean we can’t make it in! We’ll notify you if we won’t be in the office. Sometimes we can still get in for an afternoon, and other times we may need to adjust a later appointment if a storm is approaching.
👉 Keep an eye on your email, and feel free to reach out if you’re unsure.

2. We’ll switch to virtual when it makes sense.
Virtual appointments can be great for parent check-ins or for your OT to write a report. We know this doesn't work for all our families.

3. We’ll do our best to reschedule you.
Our morning and after-school spots fill quickly, but we’ll always try to find you a time. If you’ve had an appointment with us in the past year, you’re welcome to book online to grab a spot before they’re gone.

Stay warm and safe out there! ❄️💙

If you’re hosting a holiday party, it probably matters a lot to you — and you’ve likely invited a family member with a disability who matters just as much. Here are a few ways to help them feel comfortable and included:

1. Give them a preview
Letting someone know what to expect helps them decide whether they need rest beforehand or when to take medication.
For neurodivergent guests, a preview lowers cognitive load and makes it easier to participate.

2. Talk about food
Share the menu in advance and offer to make a safe dish — or let them bring one.
If it’s a potluck, you can even assign that safe dish to someone else.
Reaching out is a small act that means a lot; many people spend the whole season contacting hosts.

3. Consider preferred parking
Some guests may need to be close to the door due to mobility needs.
Others may have kids who can't follow directions or feel unsafe walking on ice.
If you can, save them a parking spot — and make sure it’s well-lit.

4. Ask about their interests
Don’t be the 1,000th person to ask if they’re excited for Santa.
Be the person who remembers they love Mario.

5. Talk to your kids beforehand
We like to believe kids are naturally inclusive, but they need help too.
Explain the disabilities they might see.
Tell them what a cane is (and not to touch it), what stimming looks like, or why someone might be eating chicken nuggets.

6. Consider bathroom needs
Which bathroom is easiest to access?
Is there space for two people?
Is there a garbage for pull-ups or briefs to be discreetly thrown out?
Which toilet is easiest to get on and off?

7. Think about safety
If someone mouths small objects, hide batteries and magnets.

Child led therapy does not mean kids get to do whatever they want.

It does mean:

We talk about bedtime after the obstacle course is done.
We are on the road driving to a kid's community.
Our footprints are organized in rainbow order (everything else can wait)
We explore joy as we tape and staple play silks to a fan.

And for right now, it means our wall clock is wrapped up to decorate for the holidays.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

We get that it's hard. And know that it's right.

A new book came in and we're excited! There are not enough books on FASD!

Did you know that FASD is 2.4x more common than Autism?

Sick season survival tips (neurodivergent edition 🤧):

1️⃣ Emesis bags > family popcorn bowl

You can order motion sickness bags or medicial emesis bags online. Less smells, less sights, less cleaning. You’ll thank yourself later. Toss it and forget it.

2️⃣ Write. It. Down.

Last meds, drinks, sleep, phone calls… your brain can probably remember most of it. But doesn't need to. Reduce your cognitive load📝

3️⃣ Dishes: survival mode. Half-full dishwasher? Run it. Not totally empty? Throw more dishes in and run it. Paper plates? Go for it.

4️⃣ Garbage bins everywhere. By the bed, couch, dining room chair. Get the cheap ones from dollarama and put them wherever the sick person is. Good intentions ≠ tissues in the trash.

5️⃣ Keep hot water in a thermos. Instant tea or hot chocolate = comfort without waiting for the kettle (or forgetting you boiled it). ☕🍫

6️⃣ Timers & alarms. For meds, drinks, or checking symptoms — your brain doesn’t need to carry the clock. ⏰

Good luck out there!

We want to acknowledge Truth and Reconciliation Day.

In our work, we are reminded every day of how sacred and valuable childhood is. We grieve deeply for the Indigenous children whose childhoods were stolen, and for what was stolen from the communities.

We commit to building communities that support, honour, and include everyone.

09/22/2025

We've decided to turn off Facebook comments on our last post (and this one), and we’ve removed some (but not all) comments.

We value diverse perspectives. We won't be the only voice talking about Autism tonight, and we should not be. We know people disagree with us, and we welcome that.

However, as clinicians, we have a responsibility to ensure our page remains a space grounded in evidence-based information. We can't allow it to become a platform for the spread of misinformation, even within the comments.

Take care of yourselves and your beautiful brains.

In just a few hours, RFK and the U.S. government say they’ll announce a “cause and cure” for Autism.

In our office? We don’t want it.

Do we want to lessen the challenges, isolation, and distress that Autistic people face?

Absolutely — that’s literally why we exist.

Do we want a world without the richness, perspective, and joy Autism brings to our community?

Absolutely not.

Here’s the thing: having an Autistic brain can be hard — sometimes impossibly hard. And when Autistic people tell us that, we listen. We work every day to make the world safer, more accessible, and truly inclusive.

But we can’t do that without also celebrating Autistic joy, honoring neurodiversity, and recognizing that our lives are better with Autism in them.

So yes, we want a better world.
No, we do not want a cure.
