“We have had to opportunity to attend programming offered by AIM since January 2015. Our son Jacob attends weekly speech therapy sessions. An SLP has been accessible via email or phone to answer any questions, and we attend family nights monthly. Jake benefits by having a consistent speech program with set expectations. His confidence in voluntary language has improved, as well as his skill in following directions without direct supervision. We have also been given tools to assist with school decisions and planning. The family nights offer a safe and fun environment for us to come and socialize. In addition to our family benefitting, our entire community has grown closer. As a parent it is easy to feel isolated when issues and challenges related to raising a child with Down syndrome come up. Having a program in Saskatchewan that supports our vision and plan for an independent and meaningful life for Jacob is valued beyond words. We are so grateful AIM is here! ”
