Which kids are a good fit for YW?

---

Through the Integra program of CDI, the YW program serves boys and girls diagnosed with Learning Disabilities (LD) who have been referred, admitted for service (see steps below) and who we agree are a good fit

---

When does it run?

---

Integra Young Warriors has two 5 month terms which run consecutively with the school schedule. The Fall-Winter term (from September to the end of January) and the Winter-Spring term (Beginning of February to the end of June).

---

What if my child is older?

---

For teens from age 12-18, we offer the Integra Mindfulness Martial Arts (MMA) program. MMA is fully compatible with YW and many kids decide to continue training in this program after they “age out” of YW.

---

Is YW available anywhere outside of INTEGRA program of CDI?

---

Our home base, for both YW and MMA is the Integra “dojo” (training hall) which is a part of the Integra Program of Child Development Institute (CDI) housed at 25 Imperial St, in mid-town Toronto. Both programs have been expanding to other locations in the last few years. See more on the Schools and Mental Health Agencies pages.

Currently, there a pilot project in the Haliburton area to deliver YW in 6 schools and we are cultivating relationships and possibilities of offering YW in many more locations in the future. Stay tuned for any word on the street about that, by signing up to Sensei’s Secret Tips monthly newsletter (scroll down).
