Autism Partnership Calgary

Today, our hearts are with Parker’s family, loved ones, and everyone impacted by this unimaginable loss.

As an agency that supports neurodivergent children and their families, this tragedy is one we feel deeply. Every child deserves to be safe, understood, and valued. We are holding close every family who sees a piece of their own child in Parker.

We also want to recognize the extraordinary efforts of the Calgary community. Thank you to the Calgary Police Service, Calgary Fire Department, search and rescue teams, partner agencies, volunteers, neighbours, and everyone who searched, shared Parker’s story, and never stopped hoping. Your compassion and dedication showed the very best of our city.

Happy Neurodiversity Pride Day! 🌈🧠

Today, we celebrate the unique strengths, perspectives, and talents of neurodivergent individuals. Neurodiversity reminds us that there is no one “right” way to think, learn, communicate, or experience the world.

At Autism Partnership, we have the privilege of working alongside incredible autistic individuals and their families every day. Through ABA, our goal is not to change who someone is, but to support meaningful skill development, foster independence, build confidence, and help each individual thrive in ways that are important to them and their families.

We see the creativity, determination, honesty, passion, and resilience that neurodivergent people bring to their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. We are continually inspired by the unique strengths and perspectives of the individuals we support.

We also want to recognize the parents, caregivers, and advocates who work tirelessly behind the scenes to support, encourage, and empower their children to be their authentic selves. Your dedication, advocacy, and love make an immeasurable difference every day.

Today is about more than awareness. It’s about acceptance, inclusion, belonging, and pride. It’s about celebrating differences, honoring individuality, and creating communities where every person is valued, respected, and supported to reach their full potential.

Every brain is beautiful. 💜💙🩶💛🩷🩵

🌎 Happy Earth Day ✨

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💗

But we’re going beyond awareness…

We’re celebrating acceptance, inclusion, and all the amazing ways our kiddos learn, play, and grow 🌈

At Autism Partnership, our ABA support is all about meeting each child where they’re at and building skills, confidence, and independence in ways that are meaningful to them (and fun, too!).

Because every child deserves to feel understood, included, and celebrated for exactly who they are ✨

💗 Pink Shirt Day is about more than wearing pink - it’s about taking action.

Bullying prevention starts with teaching skills:
💗 Emotional regulation
💗 Perspective taking
💗 Communication
💗 Self-advocacy

Through evidence-based practices, we help children build the tools they need to navigate social situations with confidence and compassion.

Every child deserves to feel safe and accepted for who they are are 💗

Kindness is teachable.
Inclusion is intentional.
And safety is non-negotiable.

Happy Lunar New Year!🧧 ✨

As we welcome the Year of the Horse, we celebrate themes of strength, perseverance, energy, and forward movement. In many traditions, the Horse symbolized determination and growth - qualities we see every day in the children and families we are honoured to support.

In ABA, progress happens step by step. Each new skill, each breakthrough, and each moment of independence reflects resilience and momentum - just like the spirit of the Horse.

To all who are celebrating, we wish you a year filled with health, joy, meaningful growth and new opportunities. 🐎 ❤️
