About this service
Within the Teragy, Transition, and SAID programs, specific participants were demonstrating difficulty coping with busy, stimulating environments. Alternative Solutions management decided to design a program that would address the sensory needs of these participants within an environment that was conducive for learning. In September of 2004 the Kriya (meaning action and awareness) Program was established.
Staff to participant ratio is designed to provide intensive supports and address the needs of this population. A 1 to 2 staff -to- participant ratio varies based on many factors including the nature of the activity, individual behaviours, physical abilities and individual preferences. One-on-one facilitation for specific programming is also a component of this Day Program. Staff have received specific training in sensory processing disorders, autism and sensory treatment protocols.
The area is designed to meet the sensory needs of the participants and is wheelchair accessible.
Who can use it?
Adults with sensory processing disorders and autism
