Youth Programs 

Empowering Youth & Young Adults Through Real-World Learning, Social Connection, and Community Collaboration

At Autism Axis Network, we believe every young person deserves the tools and support to thrive in school, in the workforce, and in their personal lives. Our Youth Programs are designed to meet the needs of both neurodiverse youth, including those diagnosed with autism, and neurotypical peers, through inclusive, engaging, and outcome based learning experiences.

 

We proudly serve schools, community organizations, and families, and are actively seeking partnerships with Chicago Public Schools as an approved vendor.

Workforce Development Program

Ages 18–28
Our flagship workforce development program created by Autism Axis Network for young adults with autism and other learning differences. Participants gain tools to live and work independently, build confidence, and pursue meaningful careers.

Social Skills Group Program

​Elementary through Adulthood
These small group sessions support participants at their individual developmental levels with a focus on communication, emotional regulation, and building meaningful relationships. Our groups are inclusive, age appropriate, and tailored to both neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals.

Mindful Art & Movement Program

The Mindful Art & Movement Program is a trauma-informed, neurodiversity affirming enrichment experience for K–12 students that fuses creative arts, structured movement, and mindfulness practices. Designed to promote emotional regulation, sensory integration, and executive functioning, this program provides students with practical tools to navigate stress, express emotions, and increase focus in both academic and social settings.
