HELP US SAVE GIANT STEPS NOW
Giant Steps is a school & therapy centre that builds
the skills and abilities of children with AUTISM
through academics, therapies, life skills and inclusion
The York Region District School Board's
PLAN TO SHUT DOWN GIANT STEPS in September 2021
is a shameful and damaging hit on children and families

"Giant Steps’ individualized program plan for Karthik is almost too good to be true; everything in one setting and in one unified program including academics, speech, behaviour & occupational therapy! Our son is making great gains in his abilities to communicate, socialize and participate in school and other activities, we are now much more hopeful for his future. Huge thanks to every teacher, therapist and program assistant on Karthik’s team!"

"At Giant Steps we found the program that provides our daughter Marika with the consistent expert intervention she needs to make real gains. Their amazing teachers and therapists work as a team to give her the support and strategies she needs to learn and live her best life. Her progress in so many areas has been unbelievable, and can always be seen in her contagious smile. There is no other program like it!"

"Lucas had no communication system and many challenging behaviors & sensory issues when he entered Giant Steps. Now, we hardly see any difficult behaviors and he is using his voice and his iPad to communicate. He has made so many incredible gains and is far more independent and happier. We are so thankful for his teachers and his therapy team at Giant Steps. None of this would have happened without their devotion and expertise."

"Giant Steps provides JP with an integrated approach to learning in a supportive and caring environment. His specific needs are at the core of a collaborative customized education plan that is reviewed and readjusted regularly. With the help of his teachers and therapists who work together, John-Paul has learned to communicate with his iPad, a huge milestone! Thank you Giant Steps! You’re JP's school, social network and second home."

"Thanks to the specialized therapy programs at Giant Steps, Daniella’s speech and communication skills have greatly improved, along with her focus on doing assignments and socializing with her peers. It makes a huge difference to have such a dedicated, expert team of teachers, therapists and program assistants working together every day for the common goal of having your child succeed. We are so grateful for Giant Steps!"

"This is our son’s first year at Giant Steps. After he spent 2 tough years in kindergarten in a regular public school, we couldn’t be happier. The daily programming with specialized therapists and teachers, all tailored to our son’s unique needs, is invaluable and cannot be found elsewhere under one roof.
The progress our son has made in under a year makes us wonder why there aren’t more schools like Giant Steps everywhere!"
