Our community integration supports services help neurodivergent individuals develop the skills and confidence to pursue their interests, build relationships and participate more fully in everyday life.
Our support services can help participants:
Our 12-week and 16-week support groups and workshops are designed for Regional Center clients participating in the Self-Determination Program. Each group explores a different topic helping participants build skills, confidence, connections and greater independence in their everyday lives.
Rooted in care that is trauma-informed, culturally respectful and relevant, and person-first, our groups create a supportive environment where participants can explore their interests, strengthen relationships, develop practical skills and pursue meaningful goals in their communities.
Develop practical tools for understanding stressors, managing challenges, and feeling safe and regulated. Participants identify personal triggers, build coping skills, and create a plan for meaningful community participation.
Explore and embrace neurodivergent identity through creative expression. Participants use art, music, photography, jewelry making, clay, printmaking and other hands-on activities to discover new ways to express themselves.
Build skills for communication, connection and self-regulation through a neurodiversity-affirming approach. Participants explore self-advocacy, problem-solving, sensory needs, preferred communication and social connection.
Build skills for developing and maintaining meaningful relationships using the evidence-based UCLA PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) curriculum. Participants practice conversation, making plans, navigating conflict, dating, and safe digital communication, while caregivers learn strategies to support these skills.
Build social-emotional skills that support connection, confidence and participation in the community. Participants explore neurodivergence and anxiety, recognize stress signals, practice regulation strategies, and develop skills for managing change and overwhelming emotions.
Explore gender identity and self-expression in an affirming, supportive space for neurodivergent individuals who identify as transgender or non-binary. Participants build self-awareness, resilience, connection and practical skills for navigating identity and transition.
Develop skills for navigating dating and relationships from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Participants explore communication, relationship dynamics, self-awareness, confidence and safety while connecting with others who share similar experiences.
Connect with other parents and caregivers while building knowledge and practical strategies for supporting neurodivergent individuals. Participants explore neurodiversity-affirming approaches, navigating change and transitions, problem-solving, and practicing self-compassion.
