Vision

We envision a thriving community for young adults with disabilities, built through collaboration with agencies who share our mission.

OUR FOUNDERS

Founded by Maria Larossi, an entrepreneur and Red Seal chef, and Oana Culelaru, who brought a medical background and lived experience as the mother of an autistic young adult. Together, they built the program they both wished had existed.

At the MindShift Academy, we're committed to high quality, person-centered care. We're currently working toward full compliance with Ontario's Quality Assurance Measures, and we're proud of the progress we've made so far.
