After School Prgrams (Ages 8-14)
Our after‑school programs help children build practical, social, and independent living skills in a supportive, structured environment. Each program is designed to strengthen everyday abilities, from conversation and flexible thinking to homework routines, kitchen skills, and real‑world readiness.
Children learn through hands‑on activities led by our Behaviour Therapists and supervised by Registered Behaviour Analysts (R.B.A., Ont.), ensuring evidence‑informed teaching and meaningful progress. Programs are grouped by age and skill level so every child can participate confidently, connect with peers, and build the skills they need for success at home, school, and in the community.
Kitchen Basics
Ages 12-14
Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced
1 day/week; 12 weeks
2 hours
By learning about meal preparation and kitchen safety, your child can develop skills that can lead to greater independence, becoming more involved with the cooking at home, or a willingness to try a dish they made themselves, thus expanding their food repertoire. The group will teach skills such as following a recipe, setting the table, and cleaning up.
