Help The Academy for Adults with Autism with 5 volunteers for OT activities and companionship
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We are seeking assistants to help and be understanding and patient with groups and/or individuals who attend the Enrichment Centre. These individuals have communication and learning challenges, but are perceptive and enjoy companionship and being actively engaged in interesting sessions with others. This is of great benefit to them towards better quality of life. Our group members are physically active and enjoy going on outings also. If you have some experience with young adults who are quirky and fun even though have specific learning differences, our organization would like to meet you and give you an opportunity to become involved. You will find this most rewarding as you give to others who are probably less fortunate than you. We look forward to meeting volunteers who would like to try to help.
