The challenge: Neurodivergent young adults are often isolated and lonely. Many programs are segregated, with young adults all grouped together despite their individual needs and interests. Social skills need continual reinforcement.
The solution:
Alink’s small group program, which takes place on Sunday mornings in Ometz’s L’Annexe Centre at Montreal’s Sylvan Adams YM YWHA, provides various activities for small groups of young adults with similar interests and abilities. Program director Matthew Selvin gets to know the young adults and groups them for compatibility. Activities currently include fitness, music, art, board games and a chat group. The focus is on building relationships and social skills while having fun.
