We frequently receive communications – mail, email, phone -
that may or may not be of use to all of our members.
Until now, we really didn’t know what to do with all of this information
- forwarding all of it to all of you would completely abuse our email privileges!
But in the interest of providing you with as much information as possible,
so that you decide what is and isn’t relevant to you,
this page will include pretty much everything we receive.
Minus the obvious spam…
We haven’t checked any of this out.
We don’t recommend or endorse
any of the products, services, or people listed here.
It’s just a collection of all of the info we receive.
There’s some good stuff here.
But, as with all things, buyer beware!
Hamilton & District Extend-A-Family has been providing recreational support, respite, and friendship to children with special needs and their families for over 3 decades. Employing an Executive Director, two half-time Family Coordinators, and at part-time ASD/Recreation Coordinator, this registered non-profit organization is currently supporting over 140 families. Extend-A-Family believes that children with special needs require opportunities to expand their base of social experience while their parents may benefit from occasional parenting respite, and shares and promotes the needs and gifts of these families within our community.
The mandate of the agency is to match families who have children with disabilities with ‘Host’ families, ‘Buddies,’ and recreation support volunteers in their community. Although the organization is partially funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services, the donations of corporations and individuals in the community make many of the programs possible.
