| Programme Description | : | This workshop will explore and discuss the daily living skills that individuals with autism need to develop in order to be successful in community integration. It will identify areas of need within their own house and how we need to structure those to maximize independence. It will also focus on working with families to help them see the importance of having the individuals with autism participate in all facets of the home life.
In addition, we will look at community involvement for the individual with autism and how to structure it for maximum success. By being active members of the community, individuals with autism are better prepared to handle the difficult challenges they face as adults in a modern society. |
