Opportunities to Participate
Life is all about participation! For more than 20 years, Thames Valley Children’s Centre has been offering participation programs and educational workshops as valuable components of helping clients and families to be their best. Ultimately, Opportunities to Participate programs and education help children and youth with special needs discover new interests and abilities and become valued members of the community; to participate fully in their own lives. The following is a list of current recreation and participation opportunities for children and youth with special needs and their families. There are a variety of exciting programs offered by Thames Valley Children’s Centre and other community partners. We are continually developing new partnerships and program ideas so don’t forget to check back to this event listing regularly.
