“Pre-employment interest clubs bee's knees and invisible layers productions (ilp). Invisible layers are innovative models and pre-employment clubs for young adults who have autism. The club provides for 3 primary needs: 1. Avenues for developing social and team skills in an area of interest. This is an important consideration since many young adults with autism isolate if not compelled to participate in life through an interest area. 2. "alternative pre-employment" where members learn skills to creat quality art and videos while building and maintaining a business model with real customers. 3. Group members participate in developing creative ways to express their views and tell their stories. The club members demonstrate personal transformations in confidence and willingness to participate in life. As far as we know, our clubs are a one of a kind opportunity and a unique model for personal transformation. Our bee's knees group participates in the big swanky art show that attracted 400 people and every piece of art was sold. Invisible layers has generated 2,000 monthly from business customers by developing 3-5 minute website videos for other non-profits and businesses.”
