Autism Housing Network of Alberta: "Building Bridges" Lunch & Learn
2024-05-28 12:00 - 13:00 | Online via Eventbrite
Building Bridges: Challenges and Opportunities in Delivering Neuro-Diverse Housing” invites participants to explore the intricate landscape of creating housing solutions that cater to the diverse needs of individuals across the neurological spectrum. This session serves as an open discussion with Ayrshire Group, an Alberta-based investment management firm, to delve into the complexities, hurdles, and promising prospects of designing neuro-diverse housing.
Through its Housing Impact Fund II, Ayrshire aims to deliver housing solutions within Western Canada that focus solving social, environmental, and affordability challenges, and delivering institutional quality rental stock to underserved markets.
The group learning session will focus on the inherent challenges in crafting living spaces that embrace neurodiversity. From addressing sensory sensitivities and spatial considerations to fostering inclusive communities, this session will spotlight the obstacles that developers encounter, and the innovative strategies employed to overcome them.
Moreover, “Building Bridges” isn’t just about acknowledging challenges; it’s also about illuminating the vast opportunities that arise from embracing neurodiversity in housing design. By fostering a collaborative dialogue, the session aims to illuminate the immense potential for innovation, creativity, and social impact inherent in delivering neuro-diverse housing solutions. From leveraging different building systems, to harnessing community-driven initiatives, this session will showcase how developers can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of inclusive living environments.
Join us as we embark on a journey to bridge the gap between aspiration and realization, paving the way for a world where every individual, regardless of neurodiversity, feels a sense of belonging and empowerment within their homes and communities.

The Art of Parenting...with Autism
2024-05-30 10:00 - 11:00 | Zoom meeting via Sinneave Connects
Our next Art of Parenting…with Autism group meets Thursday, May 30 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. online via Sinneave Connects.
Each Art of Parenting session focuses on different aspects of parenting through the lens of being Autistic and/or parenting Autistic children. Participants will receive encouragement, support and practical short and long term strategies for navigating parenting in the healthiest way possible, with a focus on self-care and compassion.
This particular session will cover the topic of parental guilt and how it impacts many parents. Feeling guilty and inadequate as a parent is a toxic anchor that can weigh you down. Together, we’ll explore ways to break unhealthy patterns of parental guilt and experience freedom from it. You are probably doing better than you think!
These sessions intend to educate, empower and encourage parents on their journey, as well as create a safe community of ongoing support. Participants will benefit from the practical information provided each session as well as the connection of others who share similar experiences.

Autistic & Awesome: Celebrating the Positives of Autism
2024-07-25 16:00 - 17:00 | The Ability Hub, Suite #300, 3820 - 24th Avenue NW, Calgary, Alberta, T3B-2X9, Canada
Here at Sinneave, we want to foster environments where Autistic individuals are free to be themselves and recognize the value they bring to the places they live, learn and work, so they can thrive.
Join us as we celebrate being Autistic & Awesome!
Thursday, July 25, 2024
4:00 – 5:00 p.m.
In-person at The Ability Hub (300, 3820 24 Ave NW)
When we read or search about autism online, we notice that a lot of the information uses negative and disability-focused language. Words like “inflexible”, “rigid”, “lack of” and “difficulty “are commonly found alongside definitions of autism. However, we know that the medical model of disability–which uses those terms–doesn’t tell the whole story. The human experience really is one of diversity and we want to educate and encourage others to embrace our neurological differences, not as something that needs to be “cured,” but instead recognizing the benefits and beauty that different perspectives provide.
We are committed to changing the perception of and language around autism and celebrating the many amazing strengths and characteristics of Autistics we know and have the privilege of working with.
In this session, we will replace outdated definitions and descriptions of autism with positives, beginning with celebrating the many positive traits and characteristics common among Autistics and empowering those individuals to embrace who they are and what they have to offer. We will also highlight the vibrancy of Autistic culture and learn ways we can support inclusion in our communities.
The event will include a short presentation, information sharing, and discussion in a safe and welcoming small group environment.
Advance registration is not required. We look forward to seeing you there!
If you have questions about this session, please reach out by email to info@sinneavefoundation.org or call us at 403 210-5000.

Phrased & Confused: All About Idioms
2024-07-29 16:00 - 17:00 | Hybrid: The Ability Hub and Online, 300, 3820 24th Avenue NW, Calgary, Alberta, T3B 2X9, Canada
If you thought your task would be a “piece of cake,” but now you’ve “bitten off more than you can chew” and want to “call it a day” we would understand if you were perplexed.
Phrases of Confusion (also known as idioms) are multi-word expressions that have non-literal meanings, which can often only be figured out by using contextual information.
Idioms can be heard everywhere: in the workplace, at school, at the local bar, and even at home. Each language has its own set of unique idioms, but they don’t often translate well. And, if you aren’t familiar with them, they can leave a person feeling very confused.
Unfortunately, the literal meaning is never the correct meaning of what the speaker is trying to get across.
Good communication is already difficult enough for some Autistic individuals, so finding a solution for learning idioms is important.
In this fun and interactive session, participants will learn about and discuss some common idiomatic expressions and be able to understand and identify idioms, learning tips, and strategies to predict the meanings of many of them.
