Service Description
This 6-week interactive course introduces students to the core principles of mindfulness, self-compassion, and emotional awareness. Participants will engage in guided lessons, group discussions, and creative hands-on activities such as art, music, and movement. By the end of the course, each student will develop a personalized mindfulness plan that supports relaxation, focus, and self-kindness. Designed specifically for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this course promotes accessible learning through visuals, sensory experiences, and community connection.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
