**Company description**

Ausome Ottawa believes every child has the right to play and to reap the physical, mental and social-developmental benefits that go with it. Since 2015, our charity has worked to enrich the lives of children with autism through sport and recreation programs specifically designed to provide individualized support that ensures they can meaningfully participate and succeed. Donations from the community allow Ausome to operate these programs at no or low cost to families.
