At Kerry’s Place Autism Services, we provide social, recreational, educational, consultation and behavioural learning opportunities for children, youth and adults. Our primary objective is to enhance the quality of life of the persons we support, and to empower them and their families, through evidence-based and person-directed supports.
These services are offered across the following areas:
Kerry’s Place Autism Services continues to adhere to the recommendations and guidance provided by the Provincial Government and Public Health regarding COVID-19 practices. We acknowledge the recent advisory by Public Health officials regarding the strongly recommended use of masking indoors, and as such, Kerry’s Place continues to implement protocols regarding physical distancing, and the use of personal protective equipment in the delivery of our services and supports. We continue engaging in active screening of those we support, their families, and all visitors who enter our office spaces. Kerry’s Place always prioritizes the safety of its employees, and the families we support.
Kerry’s Place continues to offer a wide array of in-person services and supports. The services we are currently offering in person at include:
Should any of our processes change as a result of recommended guidance, we will promptly inform our communities. We look forward to continuing to support families, and our communities.
The purpose of the Children’s Respite Flexible Fund is to help caregivers get the flexible and individualized support their family needs in order for them to take intervals of time off from their caregiving duties.
