About Us
Adaptive Trails Support Services is an emerging non-profit organization, located in the Niagara Region, catering to the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities, including autism, ADHD, down syndrome, GDD, and other varying diagnoses, alongside their families and caregivers. Founders Jessica Smith-Morrison and Allyesa Stewart have a combined 20+ years of experience in the field of developmental support services, and through this time, they have observed a need for more community services, catering to the needs of our diverse population, in a manner which includes a multi-faceted approach to an individual’s wellbeing. The idea of Adaptive Trails Support Services was born out of years of these observations, and a distinct drive and care for the betterment of support services for all.
