Tao Hop is meant to be a program that takes the skills we teach in Summer camp and apply them during the school year! We normally take the students on outings in Ottawa, to eat out and attend activities they can repeat w/ friends. The goal is to provide a social environment but also teach independence. Due to covid 19 we are restricted to a fixed location. Details on the event below.

"My twelve year old son, Mitchell, has attended about six of the social skills groups since we first found out about them. John Anderson, the director of the group, has been wonderful in helping ease "first meeting jitters" and getting the kids interacting and having fun. I also like that he gives feedback after the group about my child's experience, and even posts some pictures of the group from that evening!
I love that these groups are on a drop-in basis, even though Mitchell likes them so much he's decided to attend every one. Based on this wonderful experience, I'm also signing him up for the summer camp!"
