Tara is a Communications Disorders Assistant. She works with many of our VIPs in communication groups.

Your enrolment in the group includes the book. Each week the group will discuss the book and read passages. During the sessions Tara places focus on social communication skills, answering and asking questions and learning from one another!

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Sessions are 40 minutes each. Participants that are in current time slots and reregistering will get preference over the slot. Just to clarify ‘Music Classes’ - these sessions focus on vocals. Ginella has been focusing on songs chosen with the group.

Pre-pandemic, the HDSA Early Years Group would get together and meet up at a park with their babies & toddlers. Due to covid, we switched to having meetings online for parents to still be able to connect and discuss their experiences!

Every year, IEPs can be a scary part of the school year for parents. Around the beginning of the school year, we have a IEP information session to help new parents entering the school system, and help parents of older children refresh their ideas of resources available for our children.

As parents & caregivers have questions or any struggles with particular aspects of their child’s life, the HDSA likes to arrange workshops for everyone to attend to learn and help their VIPs develop to the best of their ability.

Being a parent is hard work! during the pandemic, the HDSA would have virtual Yoga sessions for the parents & caregivers to help them relax and reset for the day.

Why should the VIPs have all the fun?! Parents within the HDSA like to arrange to have dinner at a restaurant to get out of the house, have some fun! It is always great to get to know other parents who can relate to you and your family.
