Our Mission
To reduce barriers and enhance opportunities for Autistic youth and adults.
Our Values
Our work is guided by five core values: trust, inclusion, collaboration, empowerment, and sustainability.
Our Journey Towards Acceptance and Action
At Sinneave, we are on a journey to where everyone has the chance to contribute, and all perspectives, voices, and experiences are welcome and valued. Sinneave is an inclusive employer committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and accessible workplace where everyone is empowered to succeed as their authentic selves. Through continuous learning, improvement, and flexibility, we work to develop hiring practices and work environments that are inclusive, barrier-free, and discrimination-free – creating a culture that values and celebrates diversity while driving meaningful change.
Neurodiversity Acknowledgement
The Sinneave Family Foundation aims to be neuroaffirming and inclusive. To us, being neuroaffirming means valuing the many ways people think, learn, communicate, and experience the world. Being inclusive means listening to the people we serve and striving to create spaces that feel welcoming and accessible.
For individuals, our programs and services are aimed at supporting you to live authentically and in line with your values. We offer a wide range of information, tools, strategies, and skills as options you can explore and adopt if they feel right for you.
For organizations and practitioners, the information, tools, frameworks and strategies we share will complement or enhance the practices you use every day. We can offer information, or we can collaborate more directly, modeling practical approaches that support neuroaffirming engagement.

Land Acknowledgement
In the spirit of reconciliation, we gratefully acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of Treaty 7, which include the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy, as well as the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney), and Tsuut’ina Nations. The Sinneave Family Foundation also resides on Northwest Métis homeland, specifically, within the Nose Hill Métis District of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government’s Battle River Territory. We respect and acknowledge all people who live, work, and play on this land, and who celebrate and care for the Treaty 7 territory. We also recognize our shared responsibility to move forward together in the journey of Truth and Reconciliation, guided by values of equality, inclusivity, and a collective commitment to learn from the past.
