Check out the Student Links Initiative offered by Community Living Ontario 👥✨🌍

Student Links is a mentorship initiative that works with high school students between the ages of 14 and 21, who identify as having an intellectual disability. This initiative helps them explore their interests in the community and possible roles for themselves after high school.
Community Living Ontario does this through one time community meetings and longer-term mentorship opportunities. These opportunities are created by connecting students with volunteer mentors who share their interest(s) and who have expertise and/or job experience in an area the student wishes to explore.

🌈 Therapy is fun at Empowered Academy! 🎉

Their programs aren’t cookie cutter, they are unique and outside the box.
🍭Empowered Academy believes in making therapy fun and functional. Today, their empowered kids are playing with a parachute — and while it may look like just fun and games, there’s so much learning happening underneath that rainbow canopy! 🌈
Through parachute play, kids are:
✨ Building communication skills by taking turns and following group directions
✨ Practicing motor planning and coordination
✨ Developing social connections and teamwork
✨ Regulating their sensory systems through movement and rhythm
✨ Boosting confidence as they engage in new and exciting ways
When therapy looks like fun, skills start to generalize — showing up not just in session, but at school, at home, and out in the world. 🌍
