About Us

Dragonfly Centre for Autism Inc is a registered Canadian charity serving the needs of children and families living in Charlotte County who are affected by autism.

Mission

Our mission is to "Support individuals who have autism towards self-realization and emotional confidence by offering gentle guidance and opportunity through expressive therapies and the surrounding environment"

Company Overview

Dragonfly operates with one part-time paid administrative staff person under the direction of a volunteer Board of Directors from various parts of Charlotte County. Our unique and highly specialized music and art therapy summer camp programs delivered by trained autism specialists have enriched the lives of many since our incorporation in 2005. The ever-increasing ratio of individuals being diagnosed with the neurological disorder of autism has fueled a greater demand for broader support services in this area. Dragonfly has addressed this increased need by expanding the range of services it can offer and opened a year round resource centre at 239 Water St., St. Andrews, as an addition to the successful summer camp program operating on Prince of Wales Street in St. Andrews.

Description

The St. Andrews Resource Centre is very central and readily accessible from all points in Charlotte County, including the Isles, and focuses on support and education through coffee meetings, seminars, workshops, lending library & teaching aid services and referral services.

General Information

The Dragonfly centre aims not only to help children and young adults and their families affected by autism but also to raise awareness within the community. We do this through public events such as markets and seasonal promotions as well as offering presentations to service groups, club and town councils.
