SAAAC Autism Centre

My son attended the Entry to School Program during the Spring to Summer of 2022. He looked forward to going to school every day. It helped a lot in transitioning into Kindergarten, especially since it was his first foray into dealing with other people outside of the home due to Covid-19 restrictions and concerns. The teachers and the staff and SAAAC are awesome. I had full trust in leaving my son with them. When the program ended, it was bittersweet; we wanted him to go there longer.

The program was very successful. I am happy that my son got excellent service from saaac program. Thanks to all teachers and others who was involved there.

I am a facilitator of CARES in Spanish, a program that SAAAC created to support parents with children with diverse needs. I love the program because it gave me an opportunity to connect and support families with my language and cultural background. .

The ETS team at SAAAC were very personable and did a great job with my son. He formed an attachment to them which shows their care for the children. They would tell their day and also share techniques of what they do to also help us try implement at home. The classroom set-up they had definitely helped prepare my son for JK as he is already adjusting fine after the first week.

Had a great experience with entry to school program at SAAAC! My child benefitted immensely from this program and had a smooth transition to his school. I strongly recommend this program!

My pre-kindergartener recently completed the Entry to school program through SAAAC and we couldn't be more grateful for this program and its amazing staff. The personal and unique support my son received, and the overall design of this program, set him up for success. Not only was he better prepared for kindergarten, but general life skills he struggled to learn (and we struggled to teach him) he mastered through the support we received. This program and organization was ESSENTIAL to his successful transition and confidence. He always asks to see Abbi, which although bittersweet is a true testament to the support and nurturing he received.Thank you SAAAC!

My child has benefited a great deal through many of their programs, particularly the Live and Learning Program for adults impacted by autism. The program was run by talented, patient and qualified therapists. The program is focused on helping adults impacted by autism focus on life skills such as cooking, laundry, workplace skills etc. SAAAC also offered caregiver sessions, teaching and providing support to caregivers and tips on dealing with challenging behaviours. I have benefited and learned quite a bit through the various programs offered by SAAAC. As parents/caregivers, we are grateful to the dedicated therapists, volunteers and staff of SAAAC as well as the founder, Geetha Moorthy.

Our family has benefited greatly from the services offered at SAAAC. During our time at SAAAC, my son has been part of their arts programs, summer camp, after-school program and most recently their living and learning program for adults. SAAAC has created a safe space for families to come together and share their experiences and also offers resources and programs for parents and siblings of individuals with Autism. The staff and volunteers make the centre very welcoming.

We have been with SAAAC for the Entry to school program. The therapist/instructors were amazing, competent, and supportive. I cannot thank them enough for the tremendous amount of work they’ve provided to prepare my son for school. My son really enjoyed his time with SAAAC! I highly recommend going with SAAAC when starting with the ETS program.
