New Perspectives contracts several apartments near Utah Valley University, and within a 15 minute walking distance of all New Perspectives buildings. Clients will sublet from the program (included in monthly tuition) as they begin with the goal of independent living in mind. Students may live with a staff mentor, other clients of the program, and/or community adults of similar age.

Clients don't have to live in New Perspectives apartments! Sometimes students prefer to find their own apartment nearby. Talk with our administration team at info@npya.net about the different levels of service available.

We work with neurodiverse young adults—diagnosed or not! We often work with clients presenting with:

• Autism (ASD)

• ADHD

• BPD

• mood disorders

• and more

Again, you do not have to be diagnosed to work with New Perspectives.

Our therapists have a focus on autism, and co-founder Justin Robinson runs an OCD & anxiety exposure therapy group.

If you have any question or concern about a diagnosis fitting with our program, email our clinical director Janet Robinson at info@npya.net.

The Kreative Space is New Perspective’s job training program. Clients work with certified employment specialists & job coaches to learn and practice job skills. Employment specialists also support clients with resume editing, interview practice, applications, and eventually with getting a job!

Students are expected to treat their time at the Kreative Space like a job. They clock in and out, and receive a stipend for their work as they practice executive functioning, emotional regulation, etc., in the context of a workplace.

Students learn to make, market, and sell their own products. Currently the Kreative Space has a woodshop & warehouse to support woodworking, resin pouring, painting & digital art, soap making, sewing, and more.

Yes! Each of our employees is SafeZone trained to learn how to provide a welcoming environment to LGBTQIA+ people.

Many of our students and staff identify as LGBTQIA+, and we strive to create a safe space for everyone in our community. Each year, the Kreative Space students attend many pride events as vendors to sell the products they have made.

Both New Perspectives & The Kreative Space are members of the Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce.

Yes! Our educational coaches work with students finishing high school online or through packets, or completing a GED. Our coaches can also work with any type of post-secondary learning, including college, trade school, certifications, etc.

Our educational coaches also assist students in finding tutors specific to their course material.

Clients are encouraged to have a smartphone in order to start with their end goal in mind. Coaches will support clients in learning the appropriate situations for phone use.

Depending on individual goals, clients may instead use a Gabb phone or work with the administration team to find another solution.
