Sunrise Developmental Support Services

Legal name: SUNRISE DEVELOPMENTAL SUPPORT SERVICES

Sunrise Developmental Support Services provides arts and creative programs for people with developmental disabilities in Whitby and the Greater Toronto Area. The organization uses visual arts, music, drama, and craft activities to help participants develop social skills, build confidence, and express themselves creatively. Sunrise offers both group classes and individual support, tailoring sessions to meet each person's abilities and interests. The programs take place in accessible studio spaces where participants can explore different artistic mediums at their own pace. Beyond the creative work itself, Sunrise recognizes that arts participation builds community connections and gives people with developmental disabilities meaningful ways to contribute and be valued. The organization works with families, support workers, and local partners to integrate arts into participants' everyday lives.
