Our Impact

Since opening in 2022, we've supported students and job seekers across the Lower Mainland as they pursue their educational and employment goals. We've helped individuals tackle challenging coursework, build independence, prepare for post-secondary education, and secure meaningful employment.

In 2024, we partnered with InclusionBC's MentorAbility Hub to connect job seekers with professional mentorship opportunities. Through our network of schools and service providers across BC, we're able to provide holistic support that truly meets each person where they are.

Accessibility is core to our mission. We accept Autism Funding and assist university students with Appendix 8 funding applications, ensuring financial barriers never stand in the way of the support someone needs.

Our Google reviews reflect what matters most to us: Our beloved clients feeling understood, families feeling supported, and meaningful progress happening every single day!

What Our Clients Say

Smita and FormEdOn have helped me immensely in many different areas. From post secondary applications to navigating accessibility services, from administrative support to executive function coaching, FormEdOn is there to assist. Smita helps me with my coursework as well, and has even set up mentoring sessions for me with professionals in fields that I’m interested in, so I can get a feel for what it’s like to work in those fields. Whether it’s a virtual session or an in-person one, I’m always excited to meet and Get Stuff Done. Their office is a warm and welcoming environment, filled with fidgets and multiple options for comfortable seating. I highly recommend FormEdOn for anyone seeking support in education and employment.
