The Friend 2 Friend Social Learning Society
is a British Columbia-based not-for-profit organization formed
in 2002 for the purpose of promoting mutually rewarding friendships
between children with autism spectrum and related social-communicative
disorders and their peers, classmates and siblings. Our goal is
to help children develop to the best of their abilities through
the play and socialization that results from these friendships.
We do this by providing direct services for children by visiting
schools and other community settings to explain the sensory and
communication challenges of autism spectrum and related disorders.
We use a fun and interactive approach while teaching specific
friendship skills to the typical peers. With the help of Friend
2 Friend, children enjoy learning about autism and how they can
be an important part of the social success of their classmates.
