HOW WE HELP

THRIVE helps children with physical, communication, and developmental differences, including children with autism spectrum disorders. Family-centered care is at the heart of THRIVE. Children and youth from the District of Algoma receive support from a wide range of healthcare services and professionals.

We work with children and youth, along with their families and the community, to strengthen their abilities and promote their participation as active members of the community.

EARLY LEARNING RESOURCES

This goal is achieved through the provision of support, education, consultation and co-teaching to the child care centres.
