Occupational Therapy Assistants Day is October 12. In advance of that we want to celebrate one of our amazing OTAs, Janki! Her compassion and happiness shine through in all that she does. The quote that Janki shared that guides her “ if you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get the results.” Happy (early) OTA day! #enhancinglivesacrossthespectrum #otaday #OTMonth #CelebratingOT (fb)
🎉 What a weekend! We smashed, we dinked, and we got out of the kitchen at SASS’s first annual Golden Paddle Classic: Rallying for Autism Pickleball Tournament! This incredible event brought together 11 teams, 3 awesome vendors, amazing sponsors, and a whole lot of smiles, friendly competition, and community spirit. ❤️ A huge thank-you to everyone who paddled, cheered, volunteered, and supported SASS — you made our first year an absolute success! 🙌 Together, we’re rallying for autism and supporting children, youth and their families in our community. 💫 Stay tuned for our 2026 date — we can’t wait to do it all again! 🏆💛 #GoldenPaddleClassic #RallyingForAutism #PickleballForACause #SASS #CommunityInAction (fb)
