Questions about teen rehabilitation programmes
Is the program the same for every teenager?
No. Goals and training format are based on current skills, individual support needs and family priorities.
What information is useful when asking about the teen program?
Share the young person’s age and the family’s priorities for independence, routines, communication and daily participation. Ask about the ages accepted, skills assessment and availability through the center’s official contact channels.
How can we discuss program goals with the team?
Start with everyday situations and skills that matter to the young person and family. Discuss observable goals and how the plan will be reviewed. Read about family guidance to understand the family’s role in supporting these goals.
What are life skills and independence programmes for teens?
FAD’s teen programmes describe goals for social skills, daily living, participation and everyday independence, based on individual needs and plans. Ask how goals relate to the young person’s routines and how they take part in discussions. The individual rehabilitation page explains coordination of disciplines when appropriate.
Which ages are accepted for autism teen or adolescent programmes?
Confirm the ages currently accepted, programme scope and availability before registering. The terms teen or adolescent do not establish acceptance of every age or support need. Use the teen programme enquiry pathway to discuss the first step, timetable and fees.
