Child and Adult Funded Services
Our team provides individualized ABA services to more than 300 children, youth and adults each year through funding from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. These services focus on skill-building, reducing challenging behaviour and caregiver training to support clients to reach their full potential. Our team was able to pivot between virtual and in-person services as we adjusted our response to COVID-19 to ensure our clients had access to quality services. We offered many virtual adult education groups this past year. These groups included Adapted Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Anger Management, Healthy Sexuality, Building Lasting Friendships, and Dating 101. Waitlist pressures for our adult-funded services continue to be a concern with 217 clients waiting for service. The focus of the upcoming fiscal year will be to develop strategies to address the waitlist.
In addition, we were able to successfully support 25 children last year who presented with complex needs and needed additional ABA and coordinated services.
