Product Description:

Self-advocacy predicts post-school success, yet autistic youth often lack these skills. The Youth Autism Self-Advocacy Program (ASAP) addresses this through a 10-week, in-person curriculum for ages 11–18 with IEPs or 504 plans. Co-facilitated by an Autistic adult and social worker, ASAP builds self-awareness, regulation, and advocacy skills for school meetings and beyond.
