This program is for individuals of all ages who would benefit from learning and improving skills that enhance their overall quality of life. This includes clients seeking to develop abilities in the four key areas; Skill Acquisition, Functional Life Skills and Independence, Social Skills and Self-Regulation Techniques.

The objective of the mentorship program is to provide individualized, evidence-based interventions that will enhance an individual’s independence through functional life skill-building. The program focuses on supporting individuals with autism to develop key skills that promote self-reliance in various environments, such as home, work, and community settings. The goal for each participant is to gain greater independence by acquiring and applying essential life skills tailored to their specific needs and strengths.

This program is designed for autistic adults who wish to target independence and functional life skill-building. It is specifically tailored for individuals who are motivated to improve their daily living skills, social communication, and overall self-sufficiency. The program is only available to individuals who do not engage in aggressive behaviour, ensuring a supportive and safe environment for all participants.
