“Working with Michelle was truly life-changing during one of the most challenging times of my life. After the birth of my child, I struggled with overwhelming postpartum anxiety and felt lost in my new role as a parent.

“Michelle was a lifeline for our marriage when we were overwhelmed by the challenges of raising our autistic child. We were constantly arguing, feeling misunderstood, and drifting apart under the weight of stress. Michelle provided a calm, understanding space where we could express our fears and frustrations without judgment. She taught us how to communicate effectively, understand each other’s emotions, and work together as a team rather than against each other. With her support, we rediscovered our love and became stronger partners and parents. We can’t thank her enough for helping us find hope and connection again.”

James and Lisa, Parents of a Neurodivergent Child
“Seeing JP interact with our child during the outdoor education events was nothing short of inspiring. His patience, enthusiasm, and genuine connection with the kids made every activity engaging and meaningful. Our child, who often struggles with focus, was completely captivated—whether it was exploring nature, participating in team challenges, or simply listening to JP’s stories. JP has a natural ability to make every child feel seen, valued, and encouraged. His passion for outdoor learning has not only taught our child new skills but also boosted their confidence and love for nature. We are so grateful for his dedication and heart.”

Webb Community Foundation Partners
At Webb Community Foundation, we believe that early support and education can transform the lives of children and families. That’s why we have partnered with South Okanagan Assessment Program (SOAP) to fund experienced Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs) to deliver Autism Assessments and Education alongside an exceptional pediatrician. This program is designed to provide families with vital assessments, guidance, and education around neurodiversity, helping children with autism and other communication challenges thrive.
How Our Partnership Works:
• Comprehensive Assessments:
SLPs provide expert evaluations for children, identifying speech, language, and communication needs that may be linked to autism or other neurodivergent conditions.
• Family Education:
Families receive clear, compassionate guidance, helping them understand their child’s unique communication style, strengths, and areas for growth.
• Individualized Strategies:
SLPs offer practical strategies to support children at home, in school, and in social settings, empowering parents and caregivers with the tools they need.
• Access for All:
Thanks to the support of our donors and partners, these services are offered at no cost to families facing financial hardship.
Why This Partnership Matters:
By partnering with SOAP, Webb Community Foundation can ensure that children and their families receive expert support at a critical time in their development. The program promotes early identification, effective intervention, and a deeper understanding of neurodiversity—aligning with our mission to build stronger, more connected families.
