Abilities Case Study

Welcome to our starting line! By answering questions in the following surveys you are participating in an internal case study to help establish our LifeTrack life skills training program(s). Some personal information is required for the credibility of the study, although you may opt out at the end of the study if you choose.

Parents possess intimate knowledge of their child's specific challenges, strengths, and preferences. Our hope in this survey is to include their insights to help tailor training programs to meet the individual needs of each child, ensuring that the training is relevant and effective. We lean on parents’ comprehensive view of their child's daily life, including social interactions, communication styles, and personal interests to development our curriculum of life skills that are not only practical but also meaningful to the child. The surveys will help us identify gaps in existing services and training programs and highlight areas where additional support is needed. Your feedback can guide the development of our initial comprehensive training initiatives, as well as valuable partners in education to help bridge the gap between home and training environments, facilitating a more cohesive approach to skill development.

The construction of a Abilities Lodge begins with building a supportive community where families can share experiences, resources, and strategies. This engagement will be our foundation for emotional support and practical advice. Serving participating families by including them in the evaluation process to help parents feel empowered and more confident in advocating for their child's future to increase engagement in their child's development and transition to adulthood. Understanding the unique challenges faced by neurodiverse children as they transition to adulthood can lead to better preparation and support, ultimately improving their quality of life and independence.
