“You, as the parent, deserve to feel like you are the expert on your kid and I want you to understand why the strategies and accommodations that work for your family work the way they do. ”

Dragonfly Family and Learning Service’s Caregiver Educator, Erin Curtis, has supported neurodivergent children and youth in various therapeutic and educational programs for a decade. During this time, Erin repeatedly noticed how parents and caregivers were left with very few supports designed to help them to best support their child(ren).

When creating Dragonfly Family and Learning Services ABA Therapy program, Erin rejected the idea that a parents’ only option is to send their kid(s) off to school or therapy (or both) and then figure out how to fill in the gaps at home all on your own. Dragonfly’s ABA Therapy programs are designed with Caregiver Support and participation built into each package to help bridge this gap.

In 2021, Erin began offering Caregiver Support to families who are not current ABA Therapy clients in order to expand the availability of this unique service. Individual Caregiver Support is now available for families across Ontario.

 
“I’ve created a place where you can talk to someone who “gets it” and genuinely wants to see your whole family thrive. Together, we will collaborate to create a plan to achieve the most meaningful goals for you and your family. ”

Caregiver Support Services are Designed for Parents who want more. For Parents who want the tools and information to continually make choices that align with their parenting values. At Dragonfly, we understand that raising a neurodivergent child can sometimes present unique challenges; ones that others may not seem to understand.

That is why we offer comprehensive caregiver support services specifically tailored to parents with neurodivergent children. Through individualized packages, we provide a safe and compassionate space for parents to discuss their concerns, seek guidance, and gain practical strategies to support their child's unique needs. From accessing resources and educational materials to offering emotional support, our caregiver support services empower parents to confidently advocate for their neurodivergent children and create a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Individual Caregiver Support Packages

Caregiver Support Packages are created for parents/caregivers that are looking to enhance their knowledge, skills and confidence in how they support their neurodivergent children at home.

Caregiver Support is designed to create a place each week for you to focus on YOU. We will spend our first 2 appointments creating a plan together and spend the remainder working towards your goals. Caregiver Support appointments are based upon the principles of Radical Behaviourism and Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) and are delivered by a Certified ABA Parent Trainer (CAPT) under the supervision of a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst.

Caregiver Support appointments are a collaborative process where you and our CAPT co-create goals and a plan to reach those goals together. Each week’s appointments will focus on supporting you in achieving these goals.

Once your package comes to an end, you aren’t left to do the rest of the work alone! Follow-up support is available with every package.
