What’s on the menu for kids at Giant Steps?

My daughter Aria has come a long way since starting at Giant Steps, when she needed enormous assistance with transitions, communication, dressing and other life skills, and behaviours such as waiting for her turn and responding to “no”.

Aria now participates in group activities, is more vocal, receptive language has improved and speech is blooming! And she is becoming more independent every day.

I finally see a bright future ahead for my daughter, thanks to Giant Steps’ nurturing, communicative and expert team!

 Jennifer, current Giant Steps’ parent

Many of our kids are between the ages of 3 and 6, so Giant Steps is a busy place.Even so, there are many quiet times when our kids are focused and engaged in a wide variety of tabletop activities. Here, 4 year-old Kate is intent on the book being read to her and is keen to turn the page.#autism #asd #autismspectumdisorder #kidswithautism #wecandoit #therapies #specializedtherapies #individualizedtherapies #occupationaltherapy #speechtherapy #behaviourtherapy #yorkregion
