Adolescence can present many challenges for teens who are falling behind their peers due to the neurological and developmental lags associated with ASD and ADHD
My Child Has Been Diagnosed with Autism: Now What?
When parents first receive the news that their child has autism or Asperger’s, they are likely to be confused and sometimes even angry or saddened.
Seven Stars is for families with teenagers struggling with Autism Spectrum Disorders, learning issues, neurodevelopmental disorders and executive function deficits (AD/HD). Our students come to us because they are struggling with the transitional demands of adolescence.
Typically, our students want to be successful, but the increasing complexity of adolescence has exceeded their current capacity to manage social relationships, academics, emotions and behaviours. Our students present with many strengths and challenges.
Our foundational philosophy is that our students have the ability to succeed if they are given a safe, therapeutic environment that provides the opportunity to practice new skills, build awareness, increase awareness and mindfulness, and build self-efficacy. Success is possible and Seven Stars is here to help every step of the way. We turn challenge into an opportunity for growth and success.
