Avoid the busy mall and visit Santa at a CTN location in York or Simcoe! Santa will be on-site for you to take a holiday picture of your child/family in a fully accessible, sensory-friendly environment. There will also be fun holiday-themed activities and tasty refreshments available at select locations! Check out the dates and locations below and register for free today! You can also click here download the flyer to share. Our vision is to create a vibrant community where all kids, youth and families belong. Our Community and Family Coordinators (CFCs) create and host events that promote belonging for kids and youth with disabilities and developmental needs, as well as their families.

Kerry's Place - First Steps: A New Diagnosis of Autism - Online
Has your child recently received a new diagnosis of Autism? This 2-hour workshop is designed as a “first step” for parents and caregivers who are eager to learn about what current services are available, and begin exploring options to best support their families’ unique needs.
Kerry's Place - Caregiver Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NVCI) - Online
Adapted from the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® (NVCI) training program offered through the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), this session will help participants recognize and respond early to signs of anxiety and/or distress, implement supportive verbal and non-verbal communication techniques and appropriate de-escalation strategies, and manage their emotional responses during challenging situations.
