The Sinneave Family Foundation’s Family Advisory Network (FAN) is an integral part of a commitment to collaborate, partner with and respect the family experience.

The Network is comprised of a diverse group of community members who have been affected by autism. It plays an important role in advising, engaging and creating a better understanding of the challenges and hurdles families encounter living with and caring for someone with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. They also help to highlight the many joys, the everyday hopes, and the reality that living with ASD can also be an enriching experience.

Sinneave is committed to working with families to foster a stronger community, aiming to make a genuine and long-standing difference in the lives of persons with autism and their families and communities. The Network meets at regular intervals, and represents a wide variety of constituents living in various regions of Alberta and beyond.

The Network is Co-Chaired by Sharon Nagel and Dr. David Nicholas.
