Skills for life money work fun
Empower & Thrive Onsite is a real-world skills, autism friendly program designed to help students navigate life’s challenges through hands-on learning and modern technology. The program covers four key areas that matter in everyday life: communication, money management, understanding humor, and handling emotions.
Overview
Communication Skills
Students will develop a comprehensive approach to communication, learning how to read body language, start meaningful conversations, write professional emails, and speak confidently in public. The goal is to build communication skills that work in personal and professional settings.
Money Management
Understanding money becomes practical and approachable through learning how financial systems work, creating realistic budgets, practicing safe online banking, and developing strategies for future financial planning. Students gain real-world financial literacy that goes beyond textbook knowledge.
Humor & Social Skills
Humor becomes a powerful tool for connection as students learn to create and tell jokes, understand visual comedy, and navigate social interactions with confidence. These skills help students use humor as a positive way to build relationships and communicate effectively.
Emotional wellbeing
Students explore emotional intelligence by learning to recognize and manage their own emotions, develop stress management techniques, resolve conflicts peacefully, and build personal resilience. This module focuses on practical strategies for maintaining mental and emotional health.
