Talisman Transitions serves young adult males between the ages of 18-24 with Asperger's Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism, and similar spectrum disorders. Talisman Transitions utilizes a strength-based approach in order to increase self-esteem while enhancing ability of clients to make positive responsible choices. We focus on improving social awareness, independence, and academic and vocational skills.
