Our son Lando was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder before the age of 2. We had so many questions about what it would mean for Lando, the challenges he was going to face, and the best ways to support him. Our biggest concern was ensuring that we gave him all the tools necessary to thrive in this world.
In my attempt to help support Lando socially I enrolled him in soccer. However, I quickly learned it had the opposite effect. Lando would not engage with the group, at times even running away. I felt defeated and helpless.
That’s when I found Canucks Autism Network (CAN). CAN has incredible instructors that are patient, caring and have the training to provide a great experience for all. They provide the extra attention that normal programs simply cannot offer.
Thanks to CAN’s swim, skate and hockey programs, Lando is now building the confidence needed to participate socially with others.
Please help us raise funds for this incredible program so children like Lando can enjoy what CAN has to offer and build the confidence needed to have a bright future.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart,
Tiffany Lin (Lando’s mom)
