We want to thank our amazing community for all of the support and learning we have received over the last 7 years in business.

We are excited to be exploring new opportunities so we have made the decision to not accept new clients for our recruiting services for the time being.

You will see us continue to advocate for what we are hearing as gaps from our community and we are committed to working WITH our community to develop new ways of doing things.

We will always want to meet great people who are passionate, socially conscious and fun!! We know that we can only move forward when we work together and listen to the needs of individuals by elevating the voices of those with disabilities.

We are excited for our new goals and can't wait to continue to share with you!

Our team learned so much when did this workshop with Empowered Parents !
Definitely worth checking out

This workshop series is designed for forward-thinking parents, educational leaders and professionals. Meet like-minded parents, guardians, teachers, school counsellors, and mental health professionals who know there is a better way to support neuro-diverse culture. We have the potential to cultivate a more supportive and truly inclusive community.

Autism is complex, but it no longer needs to be seen as a mystery - and you don't have to be a graduate from a neuroscience school to help. Seeing autism from a more neuro-friendly lens requires a brave shift in thinking. When we listen to the science along with Autistic voices, we become informed and empowered. We also become allies of neurodiversity.
