  • Social skills
  • Community safety skills
  • Life skills
  • Self-management skills
  • Academic skills
  • Vocational skills

Services for AdultsFor those individuals who can participate successfully within a group setting, the Bridging Abilities Program offers group activities every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. The group members participate in a broad range of structured group activities which include a combination of community-based outings and on-site activities. For participants accessing individual supports, the program may be able to offer up to 7 hours of one-to-one support each week in order to enable adults with an ASD to participate in their preferred activities in the community.
