Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows · In person and online
One-to-one support for autistic children, youth and adults.
Tutoring, life skills and social emotional learning, brought to your kitchen table, your community, or your screen. We start where you are, not where a curriculum says you should be.
Start here
We start with what is already working
Most families arrive here after a long stretch of assessments, waitlists and meetings about deficits. That is exhausting, and it is not where we begin.
Sessions are led by the person in front of me, at their pace, in the setting where they are most themselves. Nobody is asked to perform.
Adults are welcome here too. Support does not stop at eighteen.
The moment someone's face lights up because the thing they have been working at finally clicks. Twenty-two years on, that has never stopped being worth it.Heather, founder
What we do
Five ways we work together
Academic Tutoring
Reading, writing, maths and study skills, taught the way this particular person learns. We work alongside school goals and IEP targets where they exist.
Social Emotional Learning
Naming feelings, managing overwhelm, reading situations, building friendships. Practised in real moments rather than on worksheets.
Life Skills Coaching
Routines, organisation, money, cooking, travel, self-advocacy. The practical scaffolding that carries into adult independence.
Community Based Support
Skills practised where they actually matter: the grocery store, the bus, the library, the rec centre. Confidence built in the real world.
Online Sessions
The same one-to-one support by video. For families outside the travel area, or for the weeks when leaving the house is too much to ask.
Not sure which one?
Most people start with a free call. Describe what is going on and Heather will suggest a starting point. If she is not the right fit, she will say so.

Who you will be working with
Hi, I am Heather
I started out as a peer volunteer in high school, giving up my lunch breaks to help in a special education classroom. It was meant to be a way to fill the hour. It became the thing I looked forward to all week.
Twenty-two years later, I am still doing this for the same reason: that moment when someone's face lights up because the thing they have been working at finally clicks. It has never stopped being worth it.
