for people like Luisa

Luisa lives with her guardians in Brampton. Every day, she travels to Norpak Custom Packaging, which employs adults with a developmental challenge in a workshop environment.

Luisa joined Mary Centre's community support program in 2003 where she works on math, money skills and reading.

Luisa takes great pride in her work - both at Norpak and at Mary Centre. Every Monday, Luisa attends afternoon sessions with her Mary Centre support worker, whom she calls "teacher." When their time together ends, she always asks for "homework" to do throughout the week.

Luisa very much looks forward to her Monday afternoons with "teacher." This is time where she has some control. This is time where she receives positive feedback. This is time just for Luisa.
