Our Story

Good Foot Support Services (a.k.a. Good Foot Delivery) is a Toronto-based registered charity and social purpose organization dedicated to providing job training and employment opportunities to the autistic and neurodivergent community, and to building more inclusive workplaces across the Greater Toronto Area.

Good Foot Delivery was founded in 2010 by siblings Kirsten and Jon Gauthier. Jon’s own experience told the story: despite the skills and drive to succeed, finding steady employment as a neurodivergent individual felt nearly impossible. When Kirsten looked into it further, she discovered that unemployment rates in the neurodivergent community were strikingly high. Together, they set out to change that, building an organization that would provide Jon, and other neurodivergent Torontonians, with meaningful work.

From the start, they knew Good Foot had to be a genuinely competitive business. Built on a foundation of excellent customer service, it quickly established itself as a reliable, professional courier service in Toronto. Today, we travel entirely on foot and by public transit, completing deliveries for clients ranging from law firms and pharmacies to bakeries, bookstores, and everything in between.

Over the years, Good Foot has grown into more than a courier service. We now run employment and training programs for the broader neurodivergent community, including Good Foot Forward, a program that builds job readiness skills and independence, followed by a supported job placement. In fifteen years, we’ve trained and supported over 100 neurodivergent individuals, and we’re passionate about sharing what we’ve learned with others who want to build more inclusive teams.

Language Statement

Good Foot recognizes that language is important and evolves over time.

We use identity-first language when universally identifying the autistic community. Of course, we welcome using your preferred language, whether it is person-first language (“I have autism” / “person with autism” / “person on the autism spectrum”) or identity-first language (“autistic person” / “I am autistic”).
