Dear ,

I truly believe in the power of collaboration to make a real difference, especially when it comes to transforming the lives of individuals with autism. It takes a dedicated team, which I like to call the "3Ps"—parents, practitioners, and professionals—working together to create meaningful change.

That's where this program comes in. They are leading the way in social skills development, partnering with three top universities and some of the nation’s leading autism research centers. Here’s a link that gives a bit more insight into the program on Vanderbilt University’s First Center for Autism Innovation website.

This program is truly unique. It offers a personalized and supportive approach, leveraging technology to create impactful, real-world interactions.

They use Zoom to connect small groups of six individuals on the spectrum, carefully matched by age, ability, and interests. 

These one-hour, twice-weekly workshops are activity-based and backed by university research, showing they help create clarity, instill confidence, and develop crucial social skills.

Recognized as one of the top social skills programs today, this program is all about embracing those who think differently—it’s the very opposite of masking.

I wanted to share a touching testimonial from the mother of a 14-year-old who participated in the program:

“On this last day of the workshops, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all the time you put into the program. I don't know how much change you've been able to see in my son during the class itself, but we have seen great improvements outside of class. Most notably we've seen improvements in his dealing with frustration. He used to get so easily annoyed and angry over various events throughout the day. He has been so much more patient and appropriate with his responses to the daily frustrations of life. Also, he has been so much more patient in dealing with his little brother and seems to understand much better how to read him and respond appropriately. 

 

Honestly, he used to "push the buttons" of quite a few family members, but we've seen a night and day difference in the last couple of months. He is much more self-aware as well as able to read the cues and signals that others give. Generally, he's just been so much more pleasant to be around!  In addition to all of that, I can see that the way he interacts with his friends has changed. He's much more socially engaged with them.”

Isn’t that wonderful?

Looking forward to hearing from you and sharing more about how we can support the autism community together.

Warmly,
