Learn how through The Simple Process
Skills may be taught in instructional settings,
but Participation is learned through everyday life experiences.
Through everyday routines, interactions, opportunities and expectations, adults, parents & other providers, shape the real-life environments where participation develops and learning becomes meaningful.
Participation looks different for every individual.
Participation involves supporting a person's interests, abilities, needs, and ways of engaging within everyday life, so participation becomes meaningful, accessible, and personally relevant.
Living & Learning Aligned focuses on helping autistic individuals participate meaningfully in life — and helping adults intentionally support that participation across home, community, and lifespan settings.
