Why Private Pay?

Publicly funded programs can be valuable resources, but they may not address every individual's needs or provide the flexibility a family is looking for. Private-pay services can provide an additional option for individuals who want more individualized support, greater scheduling flexibility, or specialized services that complement existing supports.

  • Flexible scheduling

  • Individualized service intensity

Autism doesn't affect just one area of a person's life. Challenges with executive functioning, emotional regulation, sensory processing, communication, employment, social relationships, and independent living can overlap and influence one another.

SLG brings together clinical and community-based expertise to address these needs within the context of the individual's everyday life.

This integrated model ensures that clinical insights translate into functional, day-to-day success.

Private Autism Employment Services in Connecticut

Employment isn't simply about obtaining a job. For many autistic adults, successful employment requires finding a position that aligns with their strengths, interests, communication style, executive functioning profile, sensory needs, and long-term goals.

  • Vocational Exploration - We help individuals explore career interests, strengths, abilities, and work preferences to identify employment possibilities that are personally meaningful and realistically aligned with their skills and goals.

  • Career Assessment - Our individualized career assessments help identify strengths, interests, abilities, workplace preferences, and potential areas of employment that may provide a strong fit for the individual.

  • Resume Development - We assist individuals in creating professional resumes that effectively communicate their skills, experience, strengths, education, and accomplishments while presenting their qualifications in a way that is meaningful to potential employers.

  • Interview Preparation - We provide individualized interview preparation to help individuals develop confidence, practice responding to common interview questions, understand workplace expectations, and effectively communicate their strengths to prospective employers.

  • Workplace Communication - We help individuals develop practical communication strategies for the workplace, including communicating with supervisors and coworkers, asking for clarification, navigating feedback, and appropriately expressing questions or concerns.

  • Executive Functioning Support - For individuals who experience challenges with organization, planning, time management, prioritization, attention, or task completion, we provide strategies and supports designed to improve workplace performance and independence.

  • Job Matching - We work with individuals to identify employment opportunities that align with their interests, strengths, abilities, support needs, and career goals. Our goal is to find meaningful employment rather than simply placing someone in a job.

  • Workplace Accommodations - We help individuals identify potential workplace accommodations and develop strategies for communicating their needs appropriately. Support may include identifying environmental, organizational, communication, or scheduling strategies that promote successful employment.

  • Job Retention - Obtaining a job is only the beginning. We provide ongoing support to help individuals navigate workplace expectations, develop effective routines, address challenges, strengthen workplace relationships, and maintain successful employment.

  • Career Development - We support individuals as their careers evolve by helping them identify opportunities for advancement, develop new skills, explore additional training, pursue greater responsibilities, and work toward long-term professional goals.
