Children's Autism Services of Edmonton

What a year it’s been!

As we wrap up another school year, we’re celebrating the incredible progress, milestones, and memories made by the amazing children in all of our programs. Our staff also deserve special recognition for their consistent efforts (though we don't have room to highlight every staff with a photo)!

Enjoy a well-deserved summer break, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back in the fall!

Testimonial Tuesday! Another family shares that their vision for their child has expanded thanks to our various teams of professionals.

Happy Fathers' Day to all the fathers and father figures out there! We couldn't do it without you. As a family-centred service provider, we strive to understand what fathers in our services need in order to collaborate with our team in supporting their child and family.

SCERTS Sunday! While there is a need to be flexible based on a child's emotional regulation in a given moment, consistently using SCERTS strategies is very helpful to reach goals.

Families often come to us looking for coordinated support from a team of specialists. At Children’s Autism Services, our wrap-around model brings together professionals from multiple disciplines to support communication, emotional regulation, and everyday independence. Our family-centred approach keeps parents involved every step of the way.

Call us for a consultation to learn more.

Fact Friday! You'll often hear our team members repeat the mantra "all behaviour is communication". We understand that anything a child does (or does not do) is a way of communicating something, whether that's preference, refusal, avoidance, interst, or any number of things. The adult's job is to be a curious detective, and determine what that child may be communicating, and respond accordingly.

Yesterday was Autistic Pride Day! Autism should be celebrated, and Autistic Pride Day is a reminder that diversity is beautiful, and every person has something incredible to offer.

At Children’s Autism Services, we’re proud to support and empower autistic children and their families. Together, we can create a world that values and embraces neurodiversity, fostering environments where everyone can thrive.

Join us in celebrating the amazing individuals in our community and advocating for acceptance and inclusion.

A huge THANK YOU to Rotary Club of Edmonton Sunrise for their generous donation! This generosity will directyl impact many children and families in our community.

Testimonial Tuesday! We work with the individual child, of course, but our programs are also family-centred; we look at the family's needs as a whole as well as the needs of each child.
