Social Kiddos: How We Came to Be

Social Kiddos Turns 2!

It’s been an incredible journey thus far, and we feel so honoured to have helped more than 60 families over the past two years. Thank you to each family for welcoming us into your support network.

We’re so fortunate to walk alongside you and your kiddos, sharing in their growth, achievements, and unique journeys.

Client Success Story: Jacob 🌸

When Jacob’s mom first reached out, she was overwhelmed and unsure of which services would best fit her son’s needs. The world of behavioural consulting and intervention was new to her, and she felt lost. Through a free consultation, our team helped bear the weight of her worries, informed her of the support options available, and guided her to the right services for her family.

What resonated most was her wish not to “change” Jacob but to equip him with tools that build on his strengths. This approach is central to our values: meeting each child where they are and celebrating their unique qualities.

Six months into therapy, Jacob has made amazing progress, and his mom has expressed immense gratitude for the positive changes she’s seen. Her feedback reminds us daily why we do what we do.

Our “Why” – Kirke’s Story

Social Kiddos was born from the heart and experience of our Clinical Director, Kirke. With a Master’s in Special Needs Education and Counselling, she’s been working alongside neurodiverse clients since 2014, initially as a Behaviour Interventionist. Seeing firsthand the challenges faced by families in finding consistent, compassionate support, Kirke set out to create Social Kiddos with one clear mission: to build a holistic, supportive approach that meets kids and families where they are and helps them thrive.

Embracing her own childhood experiences of feeling out of place, Kirke recognizes the importance of ensuring that every child’s voice is heard, understood, and respected. Her belief is that kids should not just survive their daily challenges but genuinely shine. This core value drives everything we do. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we tailor each support system to meet each child’s unique needs and help families have fun along the way!

As the Clinical Director, Kirke is by our families’ side from the diagnosis stage to connecting with the right therapists and specialists, ensuring a strong support team. With a mantra that "small, consistent changes lead to big results," Kirke and our dedicated team aim to make this journey as smooth and positive as possible for each family we serve.
