The School to Life Academy (SLA) is a program that provides occupational therapy services to young adults with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In marrying the triad of person, environment, and participation in activities (occupations), SLA aims to provide clients with an opportunity to participate in establishing their own life plans upon, or just prior to, high school exit. In a collaborative effort clients and SLA will work together to identify individual goals and pathways to achieving independent living. The purpose of SLA will be to utilize evidence-based treatment approaches to facilitate independent living. Services will be provided in a safe supportive environment that considers contextual factors that may impact independence.
