Oakville Community Foundation
We would like to thank the Oakville Community Foundation for their generous grant to fund the Handwriting without Tears program. This program has directly benefited children with Down syndrome in the Halton community.
From a parent: After attending the HWT workshop, I was excited to try out the Mat Man idea with my children. My boys, age 6 and 4, had literally never drawn anything that resembled anything… everything they “drew” was scribbles and lines. We practiced Mat Man on the floor with the wooden pieces two or three times, then moved it to the chalkboard, and this was what my 6 year old (who has Down syndrome) produced on his FIRST attempt! I was so proud of him, and he was so proud of himself!

This grant allowed us to expand the one-to-one reading program designed by the Down Syndrome Research Foundaiton (DSRF) to have two Ontario Certified Teachers and offer 52 spots for children in our membership.
