June 18, 2026 · 0 Comments
This July, the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) is offering two virtual social skills programs for SCDSB students with a developmental profile consistent with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The Coding and Robotics Social Skills Program is a five-day coding and robotics themed program designed to improve computing, problem-solving, and social skills of children with a developmental profile consistent with ASD by focusing on following instructions, creativity, and conversational skills.
The Journey to Success Social Skills Program is a 10-day program that will focus on using problem solving, self-awareness, and communication to support social skills development. The program aims to target various life skills while providing a fun and interactive experience.
Parents/guardians are an important part of the programs and may be required to attend. Parents/guardians will receive resources and support to help children develop and practice new skills at home and at school.
Limited spaces are available. Complete the initial application form on the SCDSB website at scdsb.on.ca/inclusiverecreationprograms by June 19. This does not guarantee enrolment into the program. You may be contacted for a telephone interview or screening session to assess if the program is appropriate for your child.
This initiative links directly to the SCDSB Strategic Priorities in the areas of Well-being and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
