More Than Just A Service Provider
“I’m not store-bought. I’m a unique individual who impacts the lives of many, instilling confidence they never knew they had.”
At Evolution Support Services, we believe that exceptionalities should never define a person and that everyone deserves opportunities to thrive, grow, and live a life full of joy, connection, and dignity.
We were founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to move the “upside.”
Inspired by the heartfelt story in The Upside, where a caregiver helped someone break free from the barriers imposed by others, our goal is to do the same to create experiences that empower individuals and their families to see beyond limitations and embrace possibilities.
Care isn’t something we sell—it’s something we live, feel, and deliver with heart. Families who work with us experience a rare blend of authenticity, experience, and emotional intelligence that’s hard to find in traditional agencies.
Who We Serve
Our ideal families are those who value the quality of life of their loved ones who believe their child or family member is more than a diagnosis.
They want someone who doesn’t just provide care, but builds trust, shows respect, and treats their loved one as a friend, not a case number.
Whether your child or loved one is autistic, neurodivergent, or living with complex developmental needs, we’re here to offer reassurance, connection, and care grounded in empathy and respect.
Why We Exist
Caring for a family member with exceptionality can be beautiful and exhausting.
We offer:
– Peace of mind — knowing your loved one is safe and supported by someone who genuinely cares.
– Time to rest and recharge — for parents and caregivers who give so much every single day.
– Genuine friendship and connection — because we treat every client with kindness, patience, and presence they deserve.
We don’t believe in glass houses or boxes. We believe in new adventures, and building confidence. We believe in showing the upside to every unique journey.
What Sets Us Apart
While many agencies provide similar services, our strength is personal.
We bring:
– Decades of hands-on experience working with individuals with diverse diagnoses.
– The ability to build trust and rapport quickly.
– A deep belief in empowerment through relationship.
– Reliability, humor and human connection are the things that turn care into companionship.
We engage with clients based on their interests, whether it’s music, movies, sports, or art and create memorable experiences through outings, activities, and one-on-one engagement that bring joy and build life skills.
Our Promise
When you invite Evolution Support Services into your life, you’re getting more than a service; you’re gaining a partner, a supporter, and a friend.
Because true care starts with trust, and trust is earned through time, presence and
compassion.
Let’s build something better together.

Autism SpecialistTestimonials
Peter Turk
My autistic son worked with Stephen from Evolution Support Services for more than 10 years. Stephen was an outstanding therapist and teacher to him. What impressed me the most about Stephen was his positive attitude and patience. Stephen was never discouraged by the challenges in helping my son to learn. Stephen's patience is something that cannot be taught or learned and so valuable when working with special needs individuals. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone seeking his services.

5/5 Star ReviewJBro
Stephen worked with my son with Down syndrome and made learning fun and engaging for him. He was patient and gentle with my son and helped redirect him to task and learning and to continue when it was hard for him. Being a former high level athlete he draws out young people with a variety of coaching abilities. Very encouraging and attentive to his progress as well. I would recommend Stephen to help with a variety of programming and learning.
5/5 Star ReviewRahim Toronto
We struggled to manage our son’s challenging behaviors until we found Evolution. The behavior coach worked with us at home and gave us tools that work. We feel hopeful again for the first time in years.
5/5 Star ReviewSamuel Brampton
Thanks to their employment support program, my daughter landed her first volunteer role, and now she’s preparing for paid work. The coaching, mentorship, and encouragement she received were exactly what she needed."
5/5 Star ReviewJasmine Scarborough
We’ve worked with other agencies before, but none compare to Evolution. Their approach is personal, respectful, and consistent. They see our child, not just the diagnosis.
