re an adult on the spectrum who needs help with developing any kind of area in your life, including: social skills, independent living skills, self-advocacy, job readiness skills and vocational skills, and much more! I have personally seen dozens grow from joining and participating in these programs. In addition, every single staff member—as well as the founder herself—put every fiber of their being towards helping clients and creating a safe, positive environment for everyone.

that go through similar challenges that I also face. Here, I've learned all sorts of new techniques that will help more when I'm in a workplace to improve from the struggles that I have been going through and I have made many designs of creativity in the working environment.

taff do every day. Our son found a community, friends, life skills, and new found optimism for his future. This organization is more than worthy of your attention, inquiry, and support. Thank you to the entire team for the positive, life changing mission that you embody and share everyday!

edible environment filled with warmth, kindness, and programs perfectly suited for the needs of young adults on the spectrum.

ence was very positive, from start to finish. He really looked forward to going to work at his internship several hours every week where he learned both technical/computer/graphics skills as well as those important soft skills (like teamwork, office etiquette, and communication). At the end of the program, he received an extremely organized, detailed binder that included week-by-week notes, checklists, self-reflection activities, and more. During the program, parents and caregivers were invited for an open house event, where we got to meet the staff, volunteers, and other students. We got a tour of the lovely office space and got to see examples of ads, flyers, videos and other marketing materials that the participants created. Truly, they did very impressive, real-world work! My son now has some wonderful project samples to add to his work portfolio, which will come in handy during job interviews. At the end of the 12-week program, ASD hosted a graduation ceremony for all the interns and invited their parents/caregivers. What a warm, welcoming community they've created! We enjoyed a potluck lunch, listened to participants speak, and saw them present their work. Then the staff spoke about each participant, noting his/her growth in the program and pointing out successes. It felt *very* positive and affirming. I would highly recommend this program for any young adult on the autism spectrum. Parents, rest assured that your child will receive personalized attention tailored to their skills/abilities/goals. I've got nothing but positive things to say about ASD Adult Achievement Center and the VIP Works Program!
