Renfrew is pleased to offer a Saturday respite program for parents of children with disabilities. With a low child to staff ratio, Stepping Out on Saturdays (SOS) provides a fun and nurturing day for children, while giving parents some valuable reprieve. SOS is run by trained Renfrew staff with experience working with children with special needs. Each Saturday offers a variety of play-centred activities, gross motor activities, and small group activities informed by each child\u2019s strengths, needs and interests. Throughout the day, a wide range of strategies are used to introduce, model, and foster appropriate social and self-regulation skills. Stepping Out on Saturdays runs 9:30am to 2:30pm select Saturdays from September through June. If available, FSCD funding typically covers $90.90\/session. Parents are responsible for covering the remainder of the fees (calculated annually \/ approximately $30). To accommodate as many families as possible, parents are asked to choose one preferred location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","lpm_province":[10],"lpm_need":[72],"lpm_journey":[40],"lpm_service_type":[60],"lpm_language":[44],"lpm_keyword":[7352,7569],"class_list":["post-10804","lpm_program","type-lpm_program","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
