The Lab is a technology club for young people with Asperger’s Syndrome or High Functioning Autism. The club offers a safe social environment and tuition by technology professionals in areas such as programming, digital design and gaming. At each weekly two-hour lab session, two or more computer programmers and designers work individually with young people mainly aged between 10 and 16 to develop their technology skills and interests. Young people also learn social skills and make friends with others who share their interest. Parents meet in a separate room to swap notes and strategies.
