Friendship Circle
Friendship Circle provides Montreal families with a supportive community that gives the opportunity for special needs children to form real friendships within a non-judgmental environment. Friendship Circle provides many programs that are designed to nurture childrens social, physical, and cognitive skills. We work individually with each family to understand their specific needs and concerns related to each child’s disability.
I help to plan activities for adults with special needs, to be able to socialize and develop meaningful relationships.
