What's New?

Thank you for your valuable support in 2025

December 31, 2025 —

Thank you to our many donors and committee members, our clients and their families, and all our volunteers for a wonderful year. Each of you plays an important role in enabling us to achieve our mission.

 

Thanks to your generosity, in 2025 we were able to:

• Open a sensory room at the Gold Centre, offering even more comprehensive support than ever before to the nearly 400 ABA and ESDM clients receiving intervention services;
• Provide training and ABA and parental coaching services to remote communities in Quebec, thanks to partnerships with the Cree Nation in Northern Quebec and Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA) in Gaspésie;
• Strengthen our creative arts, by adding adapted dance for children, teens, and adults to our programming, in partnership with Les Grands Ballets;
• Create additional groups for our ever popular Rafi Azrieli Supper Program;
• Continue to collaborate with the English Montreal School Board in order to be able to offer further support in the local community;
• Create a new partnership with CIUSSS Ouest de l'Île in order to offer 1,040 hours of parental coaching to 65 families
• Revive our training program, which included offering ABA training, and notably ESDM training in French, one of very few globally who can do so, with more planned for 2026;
• Celebrate the success of our popular fundraising events, the Annual Golf Tournament, Art Auction for Autism, and My Big Fat Greek Fundraiser, ensuring much needed funds to subsidize our many high quality programs;
• Most importantly, we provided over 20,000 hours of services to 1,574 unique clients, spanning all ages, needs, and stages of life.

 

Thanks to you, we can continue to be a beacon in the community by providing hope to parents unsure of their child's future, ensuring accessibility of services to all who need them, providing a community to belong to, and paving a path to a more inclusive tomorrow. Thanks to you, each and every day, we help to improve the quality of life of people with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities, at all stages of life.

 

From the entire Miriam Foundation team, we wish you the very best for all that 2026 will bring!
