Virtual Programs for Children
For children on the autism spectrum, ages 3-6 and 7-12.
CAN Registration SystemLive instruction in real-time!
Play games and learn new skills, while practicing listening, transitions, and taking turns – all while online!
Virtual programs take place over Zoom, giving participants an opportunity to engage with staff and participants from the comfort of their home!
Weekly activities vary from season-to-season. Past opportunities have included art, coding, and science.
Participants must have a registered account, an autism diagnosis, and be of the correct age when the program starts.
Supports Provided
Participants are supported online by trained staff:
- Virtual Supervisor: Supports participants and parents/guardians in navigating Zoom, while providing overall program support.
- Virtual Coach: Leads and demonstrates activities throughout the session.
We strive to meet the needs of each participant through parent/caregiver collaboration.
Parents and caregivers can provide basic information about their child’s support needs and abilities through their CAN account.
During the season, don’t hesitate to speak with coaches and on-site staff about support strategies that work for your child in the virtual context (e.g., visual schedules, first-then boards, token systems, social stories, etc).
Unlike typical, in-person programs, parents/guardians may need to be more directly involved to support with the digital environment.
