Dream Weavers Research Study!
In spring 2014, we had the privilege of attending the annual University of Toronto Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy Research Conference! Two OT Master's students presented their research findings describing and comparing Dream Weavers' programs with existing academic literature on employment & life skills programs for youth on the spectrum. Wow! This research is a good start to developing better programming and creating awareness of the needs in the autism community.
