Our Story

The Crystal Ladder Learning Centre (CLLC) was founded in 2014 by Executive Director Mariella Mongiovi, a local mother of twin daughters diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Along with Founding Director Wendy Savo, a special collaboration and partnership soon developed where their unique, yet complimentary perspectives in providing quality treatment services became the catalyst in the creation of the CLLC.

Some tips for our super parents that have recently

Some tips for our super parents that have recently received a diagnosis💙
•Learn about autism. The more you know about autism spectrum disorder, the better equipped you’ll be to make informed decisions for your child. Educate yourself about the treatment options, ask questions, and participate in all treatment decisions.

•Become an expert on your child. Figure out what triggers your kid’s challenging or disruptive behaviors and what elicits a positive response. What does your child find stressful or frightening? Calming? Uncomfortable? Enjoyable? If you understand what affects your child, you’ll be better at troubleshooting problems and preventing or modifying situations that cause difficulties.

•Accept your child, quirks and all. Rather than focusing on how your child is different from other children and what he or she is “missing,” practice acceptance. Enjoy your kid’s special quirks, celebrate small successes, this is the moment to stop comparing your child to others. Feeling unconditionally loved and accepted will help your child more than anything else.

•Don’t give up. It’s impossible to predict the course of autism spectrum disorder. Don’t jump to conclusions about what life is going to be like for your child. Like everyone else, people with autism have an entire lifetime to grow and develop their abilities.

Not the LABEL.

All children on the spectrum are ABLE to do what they put their heart into. Let’s not limit the possibilities with a label and let’s focus on what they are ABLE to do💙

Sensory integration is the process by which we receive information through our senses, organize this information, and use it to participate in everyday activities.

Our professionals in the field expose our learners to sensory stimulation through repetitive activities, and gradually make these activities more challenging and complex. The idea is that through repetition, a child's nervous system will respond in a more “organized” way to sensations and movement.

Our Sensory Integration Sessions cover:
-Postural control.
-Visual attention.
-Balance.
-Coordination.
-Bilateral integration.

🧠The 3 Key Concepts of NeuroNet🧠
One of the best things about NeuroNet is how its process makes learning faster, more accurate, and more sustained. Children who improve their rhythm and timing can remember better what they have learned, and they can use what they have learned as tools for new learning.
The three key concepts behind it are:
1️⃣Neural synchrony is the neural basis of attention. The more neural synchrony we have within the vision, hearing, or balance (vestibular) system, the more quickly we can identify what we see, what we hear, and how we move.
2️⃣Synaptic strengthening is the neural basis of memory. Anticipation creates changes in the chemical environment of the brain, and these changes in turn facilitate the formation of neural networks within among brain areas. The rythmic speech and movement patterns of the NeuroNet program are designed to create anticipation, which in turn improves memory for new learning.
3️⃣Temporal binding is the neural basis of problem-solving (rhythm & timing). Using information from different brain areas (vision, hearing, and movement) gives us the ability to identify problems and to look for solutions. The NeuroNet program uses low-level multi-tasking among different brain areas to create the neural networks that we need to automate handwriting, reading decoding, and retrieval of math facts.

🧠One of Crystal Ladder’s main focuses is to provide our children with the highest quality of Brain Training Programs.
All our Brain Training Programs focus on helping improve our children’s brain function through different protocols, softwares and exercises.
We can assure the process for each one of these programs are simple, painless and non-invasive.
Children have the opportunity to learn to alter their brain activity the same way they learn other skills, through feedback and/or practice.
Our approach is to measure brain function so that we can see the reason for their difficulties and find the right combination of Brain Training Programs designed to help on those areas.
Our group of profesionals are here to answer all your questions. Give us a call to set up your informational appointment!🧠

COVID-19 UPDATE

COVID-19 Update

Our protocols and procedures for Covid-19:

As you all are aware there are screening protocols we have to follow, and our main concern is the safety and well-being of your kids and our staff. If your child is showing one or more symptoms (Sore throat, Stuffy nose/runny nose, Headache, Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, Fatigue/lethargy/muscle aches/malaise) we will be calling you to come to pick your child up and to monitor their symptoms for 24 hours before returning to the centre.

Likewise, if your kids are showing symptoms at home please have your child stay home and again monitor the symptoms before returning.

We understand this is a difficult time for everyone, but we are looking out for everyone’s safety.
