Meet Everly: Sunbeam’s Extensive Needs Services (ENS) program has supported Everly and her family, with access to Brightside ABA, Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy at Sunbeam. FASD Coordination and Sunbeam’s Children’s Psychiatry Clinic have also been involved, ensuring wrap-around services and supports.

The ENS program has allowed Everly to access services in an interdisciplinary way which has had a huge impact on Everly and her family. Regular meetings ensure that all resources and disciplines stay aligned with goals and progress, creating consistency and continuity across all service areas. This collaborative service hub approach has reduced stress on Everly’s parent, who shared:

“We now have access to a specialized team of professionals at Sunbeam that shares information, supports one another, and makes sure nothing gets missed. Every single person we have worked with has been absolutely amazing! You can really see and feel how much everyone cares about Everly and how they have all gone above and beyond for her.”

Everly is truly special. Her humour, bravery, caring and kind-hearted nature, her inquisitiveness, her spirited energy and her remarkable sense of discernment make her who she is. Each of these qualities shines through in everything she does, making her such a unique and wonderful person.
