Strengthening Life Skills for Children and Youth
Children and youth with autism may face certain challenges as they transition from services appropriate for very young children. With this in mind, the Manitoba government is committed to improving programs and services and introducing new ones for children and youth.
Moving Forward in Manitoba
- a range of program options, especially in encouraging recreation and developing social and self-care skills
- improved mentor programs
- help to access youth services
How We Can Get There
- unique programs of special interest to children and youth, such as:
- recreational and sports groups (may include siblings)
- self expression/communication programs (ex: art, music, dance, computer technology)
- life skills programs (ex: building relationships, dating, sexuality, self-care and daily routines)
- mentor support program
- summer camp for youth with autism that promotes recreation and builds social skills
- programs that are available in all Manitoba communities
