Today, we celebrate motherhood in all its forms.
To the mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, foster mothers, chosen mothers, and all who nurture, guide, and support children🤍
To the mothers who advocate fiercely, who show up to appointments, ask the hard questions, and never stop learning how to support their children in the ways
they need most.
To the mothers navigating diagnoses, uncertainty, and systems that don’t always make it easy—your persistence matters more than you know.
To the mothers of neurodivergent children, of children with complex needs, of children who see and experience the world differently — you are doing extraordinary work in spaces that often go unseen.
And to those for whom today carries grief, longing, or complicated feelings - we hold space for you.
At Affinity, we see the depth, the advocacy, and the love behind it all.
Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

At Affinity, our Behaviour Team works collaboratively with our multidisciplinary team to create individualized, play-based supports that help children build communication, social, and daily living skills in ways that respect who they are. They provide ethical and neuroaffirming care focused on supporting a child’s autonomy, strengths, and meaningful everyday skills.
Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the process, and we work closely with families to ensure strategies are supportive across home, school, and community environments.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Affinity Group! 🍀

By submitting your child’s experience to the National Exclusion Tracker, you are sending it to InclusionNS so we can advocate for your family and others in Nova Scotia.

Across our province, many students with intellectual and complex learning disabilities are still being left out of classrooms, field trips, and other school opportunities. Every child deserves to learn, participate, and belong alongside their peers.

When you share your story, you help us document exclusion in Nova Scotia and push for concrete changes with schools, school boards, and government.

If your child has been excluded from school opportunities, we want to hear from you.

At Affinity, each of our offices have a different theme. Welcome to the Blue Fish room! 🐟🫧

At Affinity Group, our autism assessments are designed to reflect the individuality of the student we’re supporting.
We take a comprehensive, personalized approach that includes:

Review of development & your child’s story
Individualized, 1:1 Assessments
Interviews with caregivers, educators and other relevant informants
Multidisciplinary collaboration - with OT, SLP, behaviour team, or pediatrics - as appropriate
Final Report, specific recommendations, and follow-up, if requested

Every assessment is tailored to your child’s age, strengths, learning profile, and self-identified gender, because no two children are alike.
The process doesn’t end with the assessment—it’s where meaningful support begins. We stay connected to help your child grow and to guide you in putting recommendations into action.
