NeuroGuides provides one-on-one, tailored solutions for autistic adults which promote the “E3” of our mission:
ENCOURAGING: encouraging individuals to mobilize their strengths to carve out a sustainable, healthy, fulfilling life which meets their academic, interpersonal, social, professional, and lifestyle needs
EQUIPPING: equipping individuals with the support, guidance, direction, tools, and opportunities in order to meet their goals and fulfill their needs
ENGAGING: engaging individuals directly with the services, employers, social functions, and resources they need by serving as an intermediary between the individual and the end point of their goals
While we use research-based best practices with a model of engagement that is unique to NeuroGuides, our services for autistic individuals are based on the specific needs, strengths, and goals of the client.
Examples of services might include:
- going through the steps to apply for financial aid and college or vocational training
- working with families to ensure that a school age client’s IEP or 504 plan accommodations are suited to the child’s needs and accommodations are put in place for the student
- assisting a client with finding a way to monetize talents and special skills by starting a small business or finding an avenue to sell goods and services
- preparing a client for job readiness and career searches by honing soft skills, polishing resumes, learning interview skills, and finding suitable work
