"A Circle of Support provides residential care and treatment to young people who have a diagnosis of autism/pervasive developmental disorder and/or are developmentally handicapped. Each of the four homes can accommodate up to 7 children, aged 4 and older. The homes are in family-like settings in the Toronto area and the neighbouring community of York region.
We operate on the notion that a highly structured, predictable environment is vital to the success of this population of special needs individuals. The skilled, trained child and youth workers implement individual program plans to further the child's development in self care skills, life skills, functional communication skills, social skills, community orientation skills, vocational planning and skill building and managment of challenging behaviours. Skills taught are age appropriate and functional to their environemnt.
In certain situations we ahve been able to offer respite care to families as an alternative to long term care. We offer family support for all of our residents and partner with the schools and day treatment programs in order to maximize the growth potential for our residents; to increase the opportunity for the child to generalize their skills to other environments."
