Kids CAN

Testimonials

“I know when I was picking a school for Isaiah, I had a lot of questions. It has been difficult for me to find people and places that are closer than a plane ride away that know Greenspan’s Floortime and other progressive theories. Kids CAN is creative and I like how the directors and staff know and educate themselves about the latest effective methods for treating ASD. I like how they will take that vast breadth of knowledge and apply it to Isaiah specifically. They take the time to get to know him and are constantly trying to work off his strengths to help him with his weaknesses. They consult people from a wide variety of disciplines from O.T. and music therapy and even therapy dogs, which saves me having to drive him from place to place to benefit from all the wide variety of applicable therapy knowledge available out there.

In the short time that Isaiah has been at the school, he has gone from non-intentionally verbalizing to being able to use the phrase “I want” intentionally and also following simple 1-step commands, which he only rarely did before.”

“Kids CAN has been very instrumental in helping my children in all aspects of their communication and social skills. Most importantly it has given them a new confidence,
that otherwise would not have been possible”.

“Our experience at Kids CAN has been great! The instructors are enthusiastic and experienced working with ASD children. In our opinion this makes a world of difference for our son and us as well. The nature of their teaching eliminates the need for a 1:1 support worker that would otherwise be needed in a community-based camp program.”

“We enrolled our son in Oakwood Academy because he was not getting the support he needed in his mainstream classroom and we saw his skills regressing. Now I see him making academic and social gains each term and because of the small class size, he is able to participate fully in every lesson. He has more confidence and is excited about going to school”.

” This is a wonderful place for children to learn.”

” My son loves Kids CAN and has made remarkable progress in a very short time. He had his first successful play date with the neighbours! Kids CAN was the only social skills group I could find for my son’s age group. It is well worth the commute”

” I can see the improvements in my son’s social skills at home and when we have company, since he started the program. The service providers are knowledgeable professionals with obvious expertise in working with kids with autism. They are compassionate and truly want to help. This is evident in the way they communicate with parents and in their rapport with the kids. My son loves the program and this enables him to learn.”
