Empowering Autistic Youth

inLearning New Skills

We employ a variety of Autism-friendly strategies to simplify the

development of social, conversational and

teamwork skills for autistic individuals.

Here’s how we support

young people in enhancing their skills in an

Autism-friendly manner:

Clearly define routines, rules, and social norms

to remove guesswork for learners.

Break down each new social skill into manageable steps,

demonstrate them, and provide a safe space for practice.

Facilitate opportunities for learners to apply their

new skills within the group or at home with a parent or supporter.

Explain the reasoning behind each step and

the value of learning and using the social skill.

Celebrate small achievements along the way

every helpful step is a win.

Use encouragement, humor and a sense of team spirit to

make learning enjoyable and to build additional social skills.

What if Participant

needs to withdraw?

 

Participant has the option to:

1. Pause their course if necessary

2. Transfer to a different course if needed

3. Participate in catch-up sessions for missed classes

You won’t be charged for the entire course if your young person needs to withdraw.

In most cases, our students quickly settle in and enjoy their sessions.

If adjustments are needed, we can transfer your young person to another

small group, adjust session times, or assign them to a different instructor.

We understand that unexpected events can occur

sudden health issues, or difficult times for parents.

But rest assured, if things don’t work out (though they usually do),

you’ll only be billed for the portion of the course your family attended

prior to withdrawal.
