Leader in Training (LIT) Program @ Magnificent Minds Inc.
12-18 years
​
Our Leader in Training program (LIT) operates at a low-ratio, is clinically supervised, and meets the funding criteria for Core Clinical Services.
We offer 4, 6 and 8 week session blocks.
​
Designed for neurodivergent adolescents and teens, we support our LITs in building a variety of adaptive life skills that support their continued growth and development over the summer months under the framework of short-term, goal-oriented therapy. Using fundamentals of progressive, and neurodiversity affirming Applied Behaviour Analysis, LITs join us to build vocational, social, communication, and daily living skills to name just a few. Using a variety of assessment and goal-setting tools, we support our LITs in skill-building across developmental domains--but it feels just like a job placement with all the respect and dignity our campers deserve (yes, you'll even get a staff shirt).
​
*For LIT placements, a facility tour and meet and greet with prospective LIT and Directors must occur; we may also, depending on individual need, schedule a trial day to assess program suitability and level of support required for maximum engagement.

Our Approach
The LIT Way
Come play (yes, even big kids can play), explore, and develop lasting friendships! LITs get an authentic leadership training experience, without sacrificing the therapeutic support they need to thrive. The LIT program is designed to teach youth/teens the skills they need to contribute, as a leader, to their community.
