Who this is for
Built for brains that learn differently
Are you a parent or caregiver looking to give your child a space to build core skills, express themselves, and develop healthy coping and problem-solving skills for emotions, behaviour, and everyday challenges at school and home? You've come to the right place! Along the way, your child will also build friendships, communication, turn-taking, and conflict-resolution skills through real peer interaction.
For Kids 7+
A supportive, structured space where children can build confidence, emotional awareness, and social connection through movement, creativity, and mindfulness.
For Teens 16+ (LITs)
A space for teens to strengthen leadership skills, practise self-advocacy, and support younger participants while continuing to grow their own emotional and social skills.
Siblings from Neurodiverse Homes
Siblings benefit from a space that understands their family experience, offering tools for communication, resilience, and belonging.
ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other neurotypes
Our program is designed for different ways of thinking, learning, and expressing. We focus on strengths, build practical skills, and support each participant at their pace.
What Do We Offer?
Four research-informed modules
Our sessions use four research-informed modules designed to support children's emotional, social, and developmental growth. Each session has a themed lesson to take-away, and a tangible lego block that they'll take home in their own My Outlet 3D printed tool box! Our facilitators are intentional, diligent and adept in their approach to support the transfer of learning to home, school, and peer environments so families understand how skills extend beyond the group space.
Who Does It Benefit?
Four blocks to find the Outlet
Whether your child is neurodivergent, experiencing challenges with attention, emotional regulation, or social skills, or simply looking for a supportive and inspiring environment, we encourage you to check out our 4-block signature program below! Activities are adapted to meet different developmental levels, learning needs, and emotional regulation capacities, so every child can comfortably participate and grow at their own pace. Scroll through the research-backed outcomes your child will work towards and the five core skills we focus on throughout the program!
The Core Skills We Teach
Every My Outlet session builds toward the same core set of skills.
Click through the tabs below to see how each one comes to life in our programs.
A foundational skill
Awareness
Developing awareness of emotions, strengths, and needs is the foundation of metacognition and a central part of block 2. Your child will learn to notice and name emotions—affect labeling—during group activities.
Facilitators help extend this beyond the session by prompting reflection like, "Where else might you notice this feeling this week?" — helping your child practice spotting and naming similar emotions at home, at school, or with friends. This proactive awareness helps them protect their emotional and cognitive state from known triggers, whether through a chosen outlet of self-expression (block 3), meditation (block 4), or exercise (block 1).
Furthermore, research shows that becoming aware of your emotions, strengths, challenges, and passions, are key steps for building self-concept*, and by extension, drives self-efficacy.**
*def: how you define yourself, your aspirations and values
**def: belief in your ability to succeed.

Leadership In Training (LIT)
Got a teenager who's ready for more? The LIT program is our signature leadership stream for neurodiverse teens — where they don't just participate, they lead.
LIT participants work alongside younger children in the program, applying real leadership skills in real time. The result? Teens who leave more confident, more self-assured, and genuinely proud of who they are.
Teens report higher confidence and self-regulation after completing LIT
Real leadership experience supporting younger program members each session
A role model community — neurodiverse teens lifting each other up
What parents say
Hear it from the families
Our family had a wonderful experience with this program. My son attended in the past and came out feeling more confident and empowered in how his brain functions. He especially enjoyed the skill building pillar. This is a truly thoughtful and well-designed program for children with neurodiversity and their siblings.
Sarah
I’ve sent both my kids to My Outlet. The programming was thoughtful, fun, interesting, and they always left with stories or something really cool to teach or show me. I love how much they learn about themselves and a variety of interests. Highly recommend!!!
Josie
My son really enjoys going to MyOutlet. He always comes out feeling proud of himself and excited to tell me what he’s achieved. The staff are encouraging, supportive, and create such a positive environment.
Deborah
My Outlet has been a fantastic program for my daughter. Since joining, she has grown in so many ways—building confidence, developing new skills, and discovering strengths we hadn’t even realized she had.
