Therapy and Alternatives for Special Children
Phone: 905-894-1768
TASC is a registered charitable organization works with special needs
children and their families to provide therapy, recreation and education
in a comfortable setting that is supportive of common goals and issues.
We run different summer camps and programs for the whole family.
Our ever-popular summer camps are attended by the parents, siblings
and grandparents of special needs children. The campers receive various
therapies and the family gets to enjoy the pool or the beach with
many family activities. These camps provide special needs children
and their families relaxing family time together.
We also arrange for specialists to speak to families about different
issues about alternative therapies that have been shown to provide
a benefit to special needs children. Nutrition, yoga and other therapies
that are not covered by the health care system are profiled so parents
and caregivers have a better idea on how to help their children.
TASC also facilitates therapist training where therapists can learn
special techniques to use on special needs children from higher trained
therapists. The best part is the children who participate in these
training sessions get their treatments for free!
We run several fundraising events throughout the year to keep the
costs to our clients as low as possible. No no family is turned away
because they lack the funds to participate in our programs.
Upcoming fundraising events include:
