Beyond the ordinary
Addressing a Under-Funded Critical Need
"Autistic youth deserve real-world skills - too often they don't get the chance."
THE PROBLEM:
In the U.S.; autistic youth often age out of school programs without practical, hands-on skills needed for independence, Many families struggle to find opportunities that prepare their children for real life - from teamwork and communication to responsibility and confidence. Without these experiences, teens can feel left out of their communities.
Why it Matters (Impact of the problem):
- Families face limited resources.
- Transitioning teens risk social isolation and low confidence.
- Communities miss out on the contributions of bright, capable young people.
** "Studies show only 14% of adults on the autism spectrum hold jobs in their communities." **
