Human connection is an essential life experience. We strive to support neurodivergent individuals in experiencing authentic connections with others.

About

Authentic Connections believes everyone should have the opportunity for authentic connections with others.  Through well-planned, natural activities, we help neurodivergent individuals develop competence and confidence in social interactions and life.

Classes and Groups

 

Authentic Connections offers social skills classes and support groups for middle and high school age participants.  We also have a support group and class for young adults 18-29 that focuses on life and social skills as well as independence.  Authentic Connections also offers monthly social connection opportunities. 

 

Classes are held at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri.
