Program Description

The Workflow Program is a small-group program that supports youth with suspected or diagnosed brain-based differences in reaching their learning goals.

Program Structure

The program takes a unique approach to providing explicit instruction alongside executive functioning support.  

Learners can acquire skills and strategies to find entry-level employment and gain the confidence to be successful. 

Sessions will cover: 

  • Neurodivergence in the Workplace 
  • Resumes and Cover Letters 
  • Job Search Skills 
  • Interview Preparation and Practice 
  • Accommodations and Self-Advocacy 

Throughout the program, learners build an employment portfolio to support them in job searching outside of the program. They will also build a supportive network of neurodivergent peers and build confidence in their ability to navigate professional environments. 

Workflow is a 12-session program with a maximum of six learners.

Program Guidelines

Learners are invited to participate in ways that feel comfortable, with no expectation to be social, perform, or meet conventional standards of engagement. With the instructor’s support, youth can focus on what feels most meaningful and useful to them.

Still unsure whether the Workflow Program is right for you?  

Frequently Asked Questions

All materials needed for the program will be provided. You are welcome to bring a device (e.g., a laptop or tablet) that you are comfortable using.

Instructors are available to adapt activities and provide assistance based on your learning style and pace. You will have opportunities for both group and individual support.

The sessions are led by instructors experienced in career development and supporting neurodivergent youth. They provide both structured guidance and one-to-one support.

An employment portfolio is a collection of information and tools that represent your strengths, skills, and experiences. This may include a resume, skills inventory, or other materials that help you prepare for work or volunteer opportunities.

That is completely okay. Participation is flexible—you can choose the activities that feel comfortable for you. There is no pressure to be social or perform.

Each group has a maximum of six participants, which helps create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
