Happy Canada Day from all of us at Sonderly! 🍁

Our offices are closed today so our team can enjoy the holiday with family and friends, but we look forward to reconnecting with you tomorrow.

As we celebrate, we also recognize that this land is the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations, and we remain committed to truth, reconciliation, and learning.

Together, we're proud to help make Canada more inclusive, compassionate, and connected for everyone, one learner at a time.

Thank you to Dr. Behnaz Merikhi and Prof. Rhonda McEwen of Victoria College in the University of Toronto for inviting the Sonderly team to share our expertise as they develop their AI Chatbot for Autism Communication Support.

This ongoing research project leverages multi-agent large language models (LLMs) to develop an AI-powered chatbot that significantly advances communication for autistic individuals, their families, and caregivers. The chatbot can serve as both a personalized communication tool and a centralized resource hub. Using multi-agent LLMs, the chatbot customizes responses based on user age, knowledge, and language proficiency.

We’re celebrating another impactful live training 🎉

On Monday, Cassie Steepe had the honour of working with over 100 teachers during the Ottawa-Carleton School Board PD Day, to deliver "Strategies to Foster Inclusion in Every Classroom". The course equips educators with practical, meaningful approaches to better support every student.

The feedback says it all:
✨ “Wonderful and engaging presentation. I truly appreciated the insights and practical strategies you shared.”
✨ “I would love the opportunity to share this with my colleagues—this would be incredibly valuable in helping teachers better support our students.”

We’re grateful to partner with such dedicated educators and continue advancing inclusive practices in classrooms.

An effective autism awareness plan for students aged 13–21 includes clear goals, structured lessons, and ongoing discussions. Teachers can foster understanding by highlighting strengths, explaining differences like communication and sensory needs, and encouraging supportive peer interactions. Using interactive strategies such as discussions and anonymous questions, helps create an inclusive, respectful classroom environment.
