“To achieve a meaningful and independent life for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder through education, awareness and programming.”

The Individualized Planned Program (IPP)

The results of the assessment provide an overview of the functioning levels of the individual's skills and emerging skills. Based upon the results of the functional assessment report, an IPP is then developed as a base for future programs. The information found in an IPP is used to develop programs to increase independence, functional life-skills and valuable pre-vocational skills that complement school programs and individual strengths.

Life-skills programs (i.e. meal-making, money concepts, toilet training, etc.)
Vocational programs (i.e. simple office skills, janitorial duties, retail skills, etc.) 
Social programs (i.e. controlling behaviour in public, learning phone skills,  appropriate social greetings and responses, etc.)
Recreation/Leisure and physical activity programs (i.e. using community leisure facilities, exercise programs, etc.)
Any other areas that parents/caregivers/teachers believe the individual with ASD needs development in.

A basic IPP outlines both the goals of the program, as well as the numerous strategies to achieve these goals. An individual's IPP can focus on a number of skills and areas that the individual can work on. Examples of programs include:

Each ARC client has an IPP developed for them based upon their individual skills and functioning level; the IPP is customized to the individual in an attempt to maximize her/his potential in acquiring or improving their independence.
