Welcome to Aspire4Kids!
Aspire4Kids is a non-profit organization which provides creative therapies tailored to the needs and abilities of children diagnosed on the autism spectrum or with other cognitive/developmental difficulties. Our group therapy programs combine child-centred and developmental approaches to support and nurture children’s personal growth in a safe, caring and fun environment. Aspire4Kids provides intervention strategies targeted towards social development and personal skills.
We use a child’s strengths and interests to promote growth. Some goals addressed by our programs include social skills, increased self-esteem, sensory regulation, language skills, leisure skills and more!
What's New at A4K…
March 26th, 2010
Some of you may have been attempting to contact us over the past two months. Regretfully, this has been a very difficult time for the organization and we apologize if you have not been able to reach us. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Aspire4Kids Foundation will be closing.
We are however, proud to announce that our creative arts therapy programs for children will be continuing at the Donald Berman Yaldei Developmental Centre. These programs will be geared towards children living with Autism Spectrum diagnoses or other developmental challenges. Groups will be offered on Sunday; after-school programs will also be available, based on registration.
Our music therapist, Jolyane Rouillard, will be taking registration for upcoming programs. For more information, or to set up an appointment, you may contact her at
Email:jolyaner@yaldei.org
Phone: (514) 279-3666

Thank you for your valued support.
