New Leaf Link (NeLL) is a non-profit charitable organization that supports the continuing education and meaningful occupation of youth and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum conditions, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injury, and other neurological conditions.
NeLL offers an educational program in areas that link different sectors of living, learning, and working. NeLL courses fall under the umbrella of the following three teaching strands:
•Functional Skills & Literacy
•Arts & Crafts
•Health & Recreation
Within each teaching area, a variety of activities are shaped to fit each individual's unique capabilities and interests. NeLL courses enhance participants' independence, build employability skills, and promote health and wellbeing.
Participants, instructors, and volunteers all work together to create a community of learners through mutual respect and openness to learning from one another.
