Opening in July of 2023, the village-like community offers a customized \u201cPathways to Independence\u201d program with curriculums in four targeted domains: Independent Living, Social Awareness and Achievement, Vocational Skills and Management, and Personal Health and Wellness.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur community offers unprecedented opportunities for self-directed neurodivergent young adults to polish their skills, pursue their dreams, and become more independent,\u201d said Gary Wagner, Founder and President of Sedona Lago Gardens.<\/p>\n
The free Summer webinar series will cover three topics: \u201cRelationships on the Spectrum,\u201d \u201cIndependent Living Life Skills,\u201d and \u201cLaunching Careers.\u201d Each 60-minute webinar will include a brief introduction to Sedona Lago Gardens, a 20-minute presentation-style discussion, followed by an interactive Q&A.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to offer a fun, educational, and interactive webinar series,\u201d shares Life Coach Erin Boisrond.<\/p>\n
The webinar series will be held on June 16, June 30, and July 7 from 11 a.m. to noon MDT.

These skills are embedded in the fully customized curriculum. They will also be woven into the webinar discussions.<\/p>\n \u201cYoung adults with neurodiversity face unique challenges often coupled with anxiety related to the demand to perform both at the high school and postsecondary levels. Increased academic, social, and personal challenges frequently develop in the mid to late teen years, making it difficult for adults with neurodiversity like autism to find independent success and feel confident in their skill set,\u201d added Boisrond. \u201cThis is why it is so important for us to customize programs and experiences for each individual.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pathways to Independence program is also available to individuals living in the Verde Valley area. It utilizes an evidence-based curriculum and individually customized programming developed by professionals as part of the psychological and educational assessment process.<\/p>\n About Sedona Lago Gardens:<\/strong><\/p>\n Sedona Lago Gardens and the Pathways to Independence Program offer a pioneering approach for self-directed young adults with neurodiversity, including ADHD, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, cognitive challenges, or other neurodivergent capabilities.
