Active

Active lessons include individual or small group skill practice, and group games.

• Each session consists of 45 minute lessons, once per week, for multiple weeks.
• Sessions take place three times a year: In the fall (mid-October to late November), winter (late January to early March), and spring (mid-April to late May).
• Each lesson consists of up to 10 participants on the autism spectrum, who may be split into smaller groups.
• Participants are provided with a high ratio of support (1:1 or higher, if needed)

At Canucks Autism Network, we strive to meet the needs of each participant through parent collaboration.

Please do not hesitate to speak with coaches and on-site staff about support strategies that work for your child (e.g., visual schedules, first-then boards, token systems, social stories, etc.).

You can also access our Active Activity Storybook to help prepare your child for the program. Activity Storybooks describe activities or situations as well as the expected behaviours in a given context using words and often pictures. Participants can read Activity Storybooks prior to engaging in an activity to help prepare them and build predictability.

Please email [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
