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.

Let's connect!

Classes and Groups

 

Authentic Connections offers social skills classes and support groups for middle and high school age participants.  We also have a class for young adults 18-29 that focuses on life and social skills as well as independence.  Classes are held at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri.

Skill Targets

Through information provided by participants and their families, we target highly relevant social and life skills.

​

Participants will engage in motivating activities to promote naturalistic skill development.
