We couldn't agree more. Every child is different and every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a way that is individualized to their unique strengths and needs. It is our responsibility to ensure the way we teach allows them to shine

Feel good Friday! We showed one of our kiddos this picture and asked "what is he doing?"- the response we got? "Using the force."... We're pretty sure that's the best answer we've ever heard!

We are thrilled to be offering free services again in partnership with CCR and the Northern Collaborative

Wishing everyone a safe and happy long weekend!

Feel good Friday

We are thrilled that we are able to continuing providing Foundational Family Services through the Northern Collaborative. We currently still have space in our BCBA Consultation and Caregiver Coaching sessions for October! BCBA Consultation and Caregiver Coaching ... Caregiver coaching sessions will allow parents to work with the Ignite’s BCBA for up to 3 hours, over the course of four weeks. The goal of caregiver coaching is to support families in developing a goal for their child and to provide 1:1 support in person or via videoconference to meet that goal. Sessions will include a combination of direct caregiver coaching with the caregiver and child, and/or the opportunity for the caregiver to discuss challenges and debrief about recommended strategies. Service is being offered in person and/or virtually. For additional information and to register, please visit https://ccrconnect.ca/programs-services/
