The Need
Unfortunately there are not many options for children on the autism spectrum. Children on the autism spectrum often do not fit in with peers who are not on the spectrum due to a lack of social skills and physical dexterity. When children with autism attempt to join average clubs or teams they often do poorly which affects their morale and self-confidence.
The Autism Empowerment Program was born from this need and an amazing success rate for having the opposite effect of what is the common occurrence when children with Autism attempt average activities. The Elite Training Center has served several children on the Autism Spectrum and in each case parents have seen drastic changes and growth in their child’s focus, growth, self-confidence and social skills.
Mission Statement:
The A.E. program seeks to empower youth with autism using historically tested methods of physical conditioning and self -awareness with modern techniques for social skill development and self-regulation.
Vision Statement:
Through participation in the A.E. Program, students will be able to transition into a class with typically developing peers. Transitioning into a class with typically developing peers will take participants who are on the spectrum to a new level of community participation and personal development.
