The Portia Learning Centre
Every child is unique. At The Portia Learning Centre, we know your child’s needs are individual to them. To reach their full potential, they need expert, scientifically-validated, one-on-one support. When your child enters our program, they receive a full assessment and a customized plan designed to enhance their language development, communication, social and life skills, adaptive behavioural needs, and ultimately, personal success. We also believe parental involvement is key. We work directly with your family to give you hands-on tools designed to maximize learning at home and in the community. We make learning enjoyable for children with ASD and their families with programs, practical techniques, and workshops that encourage everyone’s participation.
