Unstuck and On Target® High School

Unstuck and On Target

Join Unstuck and on Target© High School, the research-based curriculum designed to improve flexibility in high school-aged teens with autism and ADHD. Students engage in highly interactive activities, while the adults participate in sessions that combine lecture, role playing and observation of the teen group.

This group will not help with the academic skills for homework completion or studying for exams, but will help students develop the skills to set goals and make plans that anticipate obstacles and allow for adjustments. The focus on self-advocacy will allow students to explore their strengths and identify areas where they should seek support.
