Autism ABA Therapy for Santiago

At the age of about two-and-a-half, Santi was flagged for Autism. Some signs of autism started to be identified, including  delayed language and motor skills, focused attention on spinning objects, and other behaviors that didn't quite add up.  Soon after, he started receiving support from the  Niagara Children's Centre and in December 2020, in the middle of Covid, Santiago received an official diagnosis of  being on the Autism Spectrum.

Since then, Santiago has received support from Government programs but that funding will be exhausted in the coming months.  Santiago receives ABA therapy at GAIN Learning Centre in Fonthill. It  has helped him grow in a number of areas including speech, social engagement skills, and regulating emotions. Santiago's family is very grateful for the amazing work done at GAIN, and would like to continue his therapy there one to two days per week!
