At Autism Centre for Kids, we are dedicated to finding new and innovative ways to help as many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as possible. We have been providing therapy services for kids with autism for over 20 years. It is crucial for us to get children the help they need to reach their full potential, regardless of their diagnosis.
What Is The ACK Give Back Project?
The ACK Give Back Project is an initiative started by the Autism Centre for Kids to get autistic children the resources and treatments they need to develop and thrive. This project was created as a way to help the thousands of kids on the spectrum that don’t get the proper therapy they need.
The project runs with the help of private donors that share our values and want to make a difference by providing resources for families with autistic children. Through this project, we aim to help 613 families a year by providing therapy services for their autistic children and supplies, camps and vacations.
Who Qualifies For The ACK Give Back Project?
The ACK Give Back Project is available for children between the ages of 1-5 in the Vaughan and Waterloo areas. Children with different levels of diagnosis are welcome at these sessions. You can also apply for this project if you are waiting to receive or not qualify for OAP funding.
How Much Does The ACK Give Back Project Cost?
As the aim of this project is to help as many families as possible to gain access to therapy, it will provide therapy sessions at a reduced cost, depending on your child’s age, diagnosis, and social-economic situation. The price per session will range from $27-$40 per session. All of the therapy sessions will be provided by the Autism Centre for Kids.
Why Are Projects Like These Important?
Projects like these can help children receive much-needed therapy they would not have been able to access otherwise. This therapy is essential because children can be diagnosed as early as age two, and early-intervention autism therapy can have lasting benefits for children with autism.
The long-term benefits of early intervention in autism include:
- Building self-esteem and self-understanding.
- Developing constructive social skills.
- Gaining awareness of self and others.
- Encouraging critical thinking and learning through play.
- Nurturing relationships and creativity.
- Gaining a sense of community and belonging.
- Practicing and implementing communication skills.
- Learning to understand and regulate emotions.
- Developing crucial daily life skills.
The benefits reaped from these types of therapy programs for kids with autism can help them excel not just in everyday life but also well into their future. With transferable skills that can be used in school, at the workplace or at home, getting your child the proper treatment is the perfect way to set them up for a successful future.
Getting Started.
There are several types of treatment options available to help your child develop the needed skills they require to excel in life. All children with ASD are different and require a specialized approach to help them reach their full potential.
