BEHAVIORAL

Life Skills and Resilience Program

The 12 week life skills course includes resiliency modules that complement the strengths of participants as they progress toward the development and achievement of personal goals. The first module of the intervention engages youth through a caring/supportive relationship that sets these expectations. Activities are designed to support youth in identifying their existing strengths/skills. The second module explores, with youth, how they can apply and build upon their strengths/skills in the pursuit of self-generated goals. The third module is dedicated to building upon key problem solving skills that are especially important for young adults with autism, including conflict resolution and the management of stressors. The fourth module builds leadership capacity and self-advocacy skills.
