The HANDS in Autism® team works to facilitate shared dialogue, awareness, and consistent use of evidence-based practices towards the best positive outcomes once the individual transitions back to the community from the NDI. This work begins prior to admission with the pre-admission contacts followed by options for self-paced and self-directed options for online and other learning while the individual is on the unit.  Post-discharge, the focus is on more active and direct engagement across all collaborative team members towards greater integration and sustainability of progress as the individual returns to community life. Here are the key parts of our collaboration with you and your team:

Below are resources and opportunities designed to support and guide the community team throughout the journey.
