Children and youth with autism can require a little help to enjoy the fun and socialization that is a crucial part of childhood.
The mission of Footprints 4 Autism is to provide them with a positive, safe, and developmentally appropriate recreational and social environment.
Our programs enable our clients to play, interact, and build friendships with additional assistance and support in place to meet their needs.
If you live in or around Durham Region, and are seeking a supportive environment filled with constructive fun for your family member or loved one diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Footprints 4 Autism is here for you!
When It Takes a Little Extra Care
Our programs are purely recreational and geared towards facilitating fun and social interaction in a safe environment.
We create opportunities to play and socialize that can be absent or difficult to find in places that are not specifically geared towards people with autism.
Footprints 4 Autism helps to take the stress off of family and caregivers, while adding greater variety to a child or young person’s weekly schedule and giving them engaging, valuable experiences to look forward to regularly.
We provide them the chance to interact with peers, discover new interests, and gain comfort with conversational skills while supervised by trained volunteers who understand the extra consideration sometimes necessary for children and youth with autism.
