ASD Social Connection

This is a once-a-week social group for students who identify as having an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group provides students with an opportunity to connect with each other and develop their support network. This is facilitated through activities that focus on building relationships, and developing social skills and wellness strategies.

The group is currently meeting in person to get together and do activities.

In the ASC living-learning community you will learn about:

• Self-regulation
• Cooking skills
• Social skills
• Anger management skills and much more

All of this is taught through individualized success coaching and group work with an emphasis on relationships and life skills. This will be organized through ongoing support in a patient and reassuring environment

Students who would like to be part of the ASD-learning living community must register with the Access and Support Centre to verify eligibility for the program. Once registered with the ASC you can contact Ashley Ludlow to learn how to join. You can send her an email: Jenna.Dempsey@durhamcollege.ca
