💜💚 We’re so grateful to the TELUS for awarding a grant to support technology in our Occupational Therapy program at PALS Autism School!

This grant helps us integrate tools like our customized school app called 'PALS In Touch', which keeps families connected to their child’s progress through photos, updates, reports, assessments, forms, and shared milestones.

With TELUS’ support, our students are building independence, confidence, and essential life skills, powered by technology and care. 💚💜

Family Activities for September 30th:

🧡 Orange Shirt Craft: Make or decorate an orange shirt colouring sheet together with pre-printed picture icons, markers, or stickers. This allows for hands-on creativity while talking about why “Every Child Matters.”

📖 Read-Aloud Time: Share a children’s book by an Indigenous author (many are short and visual, great for kids who process information better through stories and pictures).

🎶 Music and Movement: Listen to drumming or songs from Indigenous musicians (we like "The Honor Song"), then create your own rhythms together. Movement breaks can be very regulating.

🌳 Nature Walk: Go for a calm walk outside and talk about Indigenous Peoples’ deep relationship with the land. Collect leaves, rocks, or pinecones and make a small “gratitude display” at home.

Children with autism deserve a fun, inclusive summer too — but most camps aren't designed to support their needs.

Without the PALS Summer Program, our students risk two months of social isolation and losing the critical skills they’ve worked so hard to build all year.

That’s why this program is so essential.

At PALS, students continue to receive:
✔ Academic review to retain concepts
✔ Speech, occupational, and behaviour therapies
✔ Hands-on life skills, field trips, and community outings
✔ A joyful, safe space where they belong

💛 But we need your help. Your $25 donation today helps cover:
🎒 Field trip admissions & bus rentals
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 1:1 staff support for safe, inclusive outings
🍳 Cooking ingredients
🎨 Art & science materials
🛴 Scooters, helmets, and sports gear
🍦 Ice cream, water balloons & more summer joy!

We're aiming for 100 donors in 24 hours to help us get closer to our $10,000 goal.

Can you be one of them?
