Groups & Classes
At The ADHD & Asperger's/ASD Centre, we recognize that one on one therapy or coaching may not be an affordable option for everyone. Research also shows that you get the quickest results with a mix of groups and personal work, so we've created some low-cost options for understanding and mastering our ADD/ADHD and Asperger's/ASD traits in the form of groups!

Dozens of parents we've worked with have asked for this group and we heard you! Introducing our social group for teens from 13 - 16 yrs old who have ADHD and/or Asperger's/ASD! In this 5 session group, we'll meet every two weeks for two hours to:
For a lot of teens with neurodiversity, it's tough to connect with peers, so we've created a fun, interactive environment that takes the pressure off, where you can find life-long friends :) Every week, we'll do a new activity that the teens get to vote on. Come for a session to try it out or sign up for the whole 5 sessions at a large discount - whatever your needs, this group is here for you (whether to dip in your pinkie toe or cannon ball in :)) Facilitator: This group is run by Coach Kate, an ADHD & Asperger's/ASD specialized coach with ADHD and symptoms of Asperger's herself. Kate specilizes in working with teens and youth with neurodiversity as she LOVES helping them find and harness their interests and special abilities! Always ready to break into a smile, invent a game out of nowhere, or craft a comedy routine from scratch, teens love Kate because she's young, energetic, honest, willing to embarrass herself at a moment's notice for the sake of learning, and totally nonjudgmental. |

Join with ADHD and Asperger's experts and other parents/caregivers of kids of all ages with ADHD and/or Asperger's to get your questions answered, support from people who've been there, and a hopeful perspective on your child's future. We see ADHD and Asperger's as a gift and focus on managing the negative symptoms while helping to find and harness the amazing super powers of our kids (like high intelligence, creativity, kindness, and hyper-focusing).
Part workshop, part support group, these sessions have been described as "self-care I badly needed", "a safe place to not feel guilty, for once!", and "incredibly informative". We also offer refreshments and snacks! We vote on new topics each course. Topics we often discuss include:

Strategies for Adult ADHD/Asperger's Group
(Weekly, Walk-In)
Every Thursday, 7:00pm - 8:00pm (First Session Free!)
|
Learn some hands-on techniques for managing and harnessing your ADHD/Aspie superpowers while getting to know people eerily similar to yourself. We're really into a sense of community so it's common that people will go out for tea or drinks after, so feel free to plan some extra time after for social stuff if you like.
Common issues we focus on include: time management, prioritization, managing paperwork, scheduling, problem solving, goal completion, focusing, and maintaining relationships but we vote on a new topic every week. This group usually involves a discussion around a voted topic, a relevant technique or exercise, and setting a goal/intention for the week. Feel free to come alone or bring people from your life who you would like to understand your condition better. People who just want to understand ADHD/AS better (such as parents) can also come on their own. This group is typically led by a practitioner with ADHD and/or ASD themselves (because we get each other best). |

Come by on the first Thursday of every month to connect with others with ADHD and/or ASD/Asperger's Syndrome. We typically vote on topics that attendees are interested in that day and share real-life stories that make us all feel heard and seen.
Common issues we discuss include addictions, making and keeping friends and romantic partners, self-care, procrastination, study skills, perfectionism, stigma, entrepreneurialism, accommodations, and finding the right work environment. This group is typically led by a practitioner with ADHD and/or ASD themselves (because we get it). |
