young adults who require specialized support and alternative approaches

In her most recent role, Salina was responsible for managing day treatment
services in two school-based programs, in partnership with the Toronto

Salina has also been involved in the local music scene, primarily as
a vocalist, and believes strongly in the benefits of a creative arts

with John’s music students.
Salina has been a longtime advocate for persons with disabilities who
require specialized services in order to increase their quality of life.
Her continued involvement and interest in the field stems from her strong
belief in the importance of providing safe, accepting and creative environments
for people who have different abilities, to enable them to build their
self-esteem and develop strength in their uniqueness and diversity.
