Step 1:
UPDATE May 2023: The Life Skills & Social Studio is currently at a waiting list. Please complete the New Member Intake Form below to be added to our Waitlist.
Step 2:
A member of the Barrier-Free Team will contact you via your provided information to learn more about how we can best serve you and to schedule your tour and meet-and-greet.
Step 3:
During the visit, the prospective new Studio member and/or parent/guardian will meet Studio staff and receive a tour of the space. When the Studio session begins, we ask that parents/guardians leave to allow the new member to integrate into the group.
During the tour, a Studio staff member will discuss the Intake checklist that will be reviewed during the prospective new member's first free session. The checklist ensures that The Studio is the right fit for both parties! We want to ensure that each participant is receiving the best quality services possible—services that are the perfect fit for their needs.
At the end of the first visit, a parent/legal guardian must pick-up and attend the session debrief where a Studio staff member will review the completed checklist with the participant and parent/guardian and provide next steps.
