Strides Toronto

Support isn't always one big conversation...

It often starts in the everyday moments. The language we use, the comments we make and the way we respond to people around us can help young people understand whether they are safe to be themselves.

This , we’re reminding parents and caregivers that small signs of acceptance can make a big difference.

If your child or teen needs mental health support, can help children, youth and families connect with care. Learn more at stridestoronto.ca.

Teens don’t always express their emotions verbally. In those quiet moments, your presence means the world. Let them know you’re there when they’re ready to talk. 🫂 💜

Is your little one on the autism spectrum about to embark on their school journey in the coming years? 📚 Our Entry to School (ETS) program is now enrolling for September 2026 and is designed to pave the way for a smooth transition into Kindergarten or Grade 1.

ETS is a two-part program combining skill-building groups and individualized transition supports. We help children ages 3-6 develop school-readiness skills in six crucial areas:
1️⃣ Communication
2️⃣ Play
3️⃣ Social Interaction
4️⃣ Functional Routines
5️⃣ Behavioural Self-Management
6️⃣ Pre-Academics, Learning, and Attention

ETS program is available at two locations for our September 2026–March 2027 cohort: Cornell Junior Public School and our Strides Middlefield location.
