“My son absolutely loved going to the Buddy Up! Social Skills group. His skills improved so much and he didn't even realize he was learning! I highly recommend Buddy Up!”

“Buddy Up is wonderful! It’s a safe place for my son to fully be himself and interact with other kids his age in a positive way. Kat is so good with the kids, whenever I drop my son off in a cranky mood, he will be all smiles by the time I pick him up.”

“We have been using the buddy up services for about the last 4 months. We have attended classes in angus and in barrie. My son is 9 years old and struggles socially with kids his own age.”
