About us
Our Mission, Vision and Commitment (located in Cranbrook, BC, Canada)
Our Mission
At Windy Ridge, we are constantly un-learning old skills and learning new ones. We provide neuro-affirming, Autistic-informed, attachment and play based supports for school aged and preschool children. We are dedicated to supporting families with compassion, flexibility and understanding, as allies.
“Children are not meant to work for love. They are meant to rest in someone’s care so that they can play and grow; this is why relationships matter.”
― Deborah MacNamara,
"Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers"
​
Our Vision
The team at Windy Ridge is passionate about providing safe and ongoing relationships and understanding that "kids do well when they can" (Dr. Greene). We envision an inclusive and welcoming world for all humans. We presume competence in the children and aim to support quality of life at all times.
Our Commitment
Our team is made up of neurotypical and neurodivergent allies and each is a unique human committed to individualized supports. We are neurodiversity affirming and Autistic informed. Windy Ridge is committed to providing family focused supports for all abilities. We learn from our clients and are committed to supporting family and community relationships.
We are committed to learning from @actuallyautistic people through reading, virtual and in person communication.
We adhere to the guidelines provided by the Autism Funding Unit, through the Ministry of Children and Families, including having a RASP Certified professional supervising our Interventionists.
