Our Program
Fostering Forever Friendships is a Not-for-Profit Organization that runs a day program for adults with exceptionalities in Ottawa, ON.
The day program focuses on fostering the independence and continued growth of adults 18-45 years old with special needs in a safe and inclusive environment. Our goal is to integrate the day program with opportunities to engage in creative outlets, to participate in community outreach, and to enhance daily living skills.
We work within a 1:4 ratio and should participants require any extra support, they will need to come with their own support worker.
Fostering Forever Friendships prides itself on being On-The-Go where participants are bus training, route planning and being involved in the travelling process. Participants are travelling with the group to an activity and then back for the end of the day.
We have a couple options for registrations! You can register for select days through the week or for the whole week. Please email or click Register to book an intake.
Please take note that we do not offer half days, due to the nature of the program.
**Due to Covid-19, all intakes will be completed via Zoom. We would love to hear more about you and have you join our programming!**
Activities are planned with each participant in mind. We like to know what the participants' likes and dislikes are so that we can plan activities that will be fun and engaging for all.
Some of the activities that we will partake in are:
*Busing on Oc Transpo
*Lending a hand in the community
*Cooking and Baking
*Arts and Crafts
*Attending festivals and local events
*Learning about cultures and traditions
*Working on Daily Living skills
*Going to local restaurants and coffee shops
*Recreational Activities
*and so much more!
We are also open to any participant suggestions should an activity come to mind. If one does-just let a staff member know and we would be happy to add it into programming.
