Early Start Groups
Group sessions at our Dollard-Des-Ormeaux clinic designed for young children with autism, ADHD, or developmental challenges to develop communication, social, and early learning skills.
What Children Gain in Our Early Start Groups
Our early start groups use play-based activities and guided interaction to support foundational social, communication, and developmental skills for children who benefit from structured early learning experiences alongside peers.
Focus Areas in Sessions
Early Communication
Building first words, gestures, and back-and-forth interaction through guided play.
Social Foundations
Encouraging sharing, turn-taking, and cooperative play with peers in small groups.
Early Learning & Play
Structured play and activities that support cognitive development, attention, and problem-solving skills.
Confidence & Engagement
Creating a safe, supportive space for children to explore, try new skills, and feel successful.
Who This Is For
This group is designed for young children who benefit from early, structured support to develop foundational communication, social, and learning skills. It is especially helpful for children who struggle in a traditional daycare environment and need guided support to build confidence, attention, and interaction skills.
It is commonly suited for children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, developmental delays, or early social-communication differences, as well as children who may need extra support preparing for daycare or preschool environments.
