Description:

The HANDS in Autism Center's HANDSmade initiative helps create a structured work environment for individuals on the autism spectrum or with other social, communication, or behavioral challenges. HANDS trainers and mentors work with individuals with a range of disabilities across community, post-secondary, and vocational settings, as part of internships, individual services, small groups, and intensive multi-day workshops. HANDSmade mentors regularly serve in supervisory roles and assist individuals with ASD in completing work-related tasks, as well as ensuring individuals with ASD are comfortable in their working environment. Interns are expected to serve 6-12 hours a week under the supervision of the HANDSmade program director throughout the spring 2020 semester, with an expected start date of January 8th, 2020.
