Our sessions are all about friendship, teamwork, and celebrating what makes each child unique. When children feel accepted and included, kindness grows and bullying has no space to thrive.

Over half of our new volunteers are referred via adoption agencies. Couples looking to adopt learn so much about communicating, playing & being around children at KEEN. They bring energy to our sessions, they are committed, engaged & they go on to be incredible parents.

Around 80% of children at KEEN are non-speaking but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice.
We listen to vocalisations, notice body language, and tune into every smile, glance, and gesture. Because communication is more than words.

At KEEN, we view autism as a different way of seeing the world rather than as a disorder. 90% of the athletes we support have autism so a KEEN session is more than acceptance and awareness, it’s a celebration of what makes us all different.
