Kiddo Active Life Skills Groups provide opportunities for teens and young adults to engage in fun activities with similar aged peers while developing social skills, executive functioning skill and specific life skills. The groups are led by an occupational therapist who designs and modifies every activity for each participants ability, needs and goals so that everyone experiences success and goal achievement. Depending on the goals set out for the week we may also be including the feedback of our speech and language therapists and/or physiotherapists. The session will take place over 3 afternoons each week – Mondays will be the introduction to the group as well as the week’s lessons and deciding on the week’s activity, Tuesdays will include planning and organizing the week’s activity, and Thursdays will be the activity or outing to use the skills gained over the week.
This summer’s program is designed to address the overall life skills theme: Social Participation in the Community. By organizing a different activity each week, the group participants will practice a variety of life and social skills necessary to increase functional independence in the community. The activity will be chosen by the group each week with the assistance of the group leaders. These are some of the skills that will be introduced and practiced this summer:

Additional information to consider :
- It is possible that should all the members of the group wish to change the times of the meetings it may be possible to do so, please inform our receptionist team.
- Each teen will likely have need of pocket money for the week’s outing/activity. It is our hope that the teens will learn to respect their budget and how to earn their pocket money towards a goal each week as this is an important life skill.
- Some examples of activities: volunteering for shops in the Pointe Claire Plaza to work on essential job training skills, going to a restaurant with your peers, planning and going to recreational activities with friends.
- Each family will be given a questionnaire for the parents and another for the teen to fill out when they register – allowing the therapist to understand the teen’s strengths, weaknesses and goals.
- The group format will be adjusted to meet the needs of the individuals that register, unless the group format is not ideal for one of the teens.
