"My son had a wonderful time at Norwood Centre, it was like a very first school for him. Staff really helped us they loved him and gave us confidence a parents to enroll our son in further programming. As newcomers in Canada you made our life easy. and we feel loveable and worthy. Norwood treated us as a family. Still have assistance which is amazing and appreciated. Thank you Norwood Centre, God Bless you."

"The impact on the quality of life for my family and I has been huge. I’m able to have a chance to actively attend and be mentally present for all medical appointments. This has led me to build a healthy lifestyle based on my newfound ability to effectively communicate and seek necessary medical advice and attention. I’m able to have productive meetings and conversations with the various therapists my autistic son has. My daughter is thriving at Norwood Centre, her social skills and ability to interact with peers and adults has drastically improved. She is happier knowing she will be going to the respite program and playing games and learning in a loving and secure environment. Without Norwood, my daughter wouldn’t get the appropriate developmental skills she needs to thrive. As a mom, I wouldn’t have the chance to actually take care of myself to make sure I’m doing well to be a better mother. As impactful as this program has been to my family life, I know every family that participates is so grateful for such a program."

"I honestly love the staff at Norwood Centre. They are full of good information and are so helpful. I don't feel judged. They are great at being able to provide 1-1 support so I can give my attention to my infant/toddler. Time I would not otherwise have. I love that the respite program is available to everyone."

"My husband and I are not originally from here so we don't have any support spent the last 4 years of parenthood isolated and personally feeling like we were drowning. This program & staff are amazing are so hands on, respectful, and caring. Since being involved our kids are learning tons of new things but most importantly having fun. My husband and I have few hours a week for appointments we're catching up on and really getting to spend some much needed time together and our kids have space to miss us."
