Our goal is to create a learning environment to actively develop social skills in everyday life events. The whole family is an essential part of the child’s social world, and venturing out into the community as a family is an important aspect in life.
We strive to enhance each child’s social skills in realistic environments to improve the quality of the whole family’s social experiences.
The program shall include individual goals for the child, opportunities for the siblings to meet with peers who share similar experiences, emotional support for the whole family, and training for all on how to get the most out of teaching moments in everyday activities.
Our Vision
