The Shining Through Centre for Children with Autism

The Shining Through Centre for Children with Autism Shining Through is a non-profit organization that provides ABA/IBI therapy to children and their families affected by autism. That’s when Beecroft was born.

We say yes to children with autism having dreams! We say yes to families having hope for their loved ones with autism! Our Story:

Shining Through was founded in 1999 by 5 families, who recognized a demand for programs and services for children with Autism. Struggling to find the right care and education for their own children and having a goal of creating a centre of world-class quality - the Woo

dbridge campus was established. They began hiring highly specialized professionals to create one-on-one programs using the ABA intervention model, monitor progress, advise families, and champion the progression of all constructive interventions that would facilitate the education, growth, and development of their children. By 2008, the centre was so successful that it reached capacity, and another campus was urgently needed. Both campuses are in beautiful century homes; the story of the Dempsey Store (built by Joseph Sheppard II) is particularly fascinating. The newest addition to STC was a school-based program in partnership with Streetsville Academy where they focus on integration into regular classrooms. As for the 5 founding families - they are all still very much involved and committed to the mission of this centre.
