Case Study: Autistry Studios helps teens build confidence and independence with ShopBot Tools CNC solutions

Autistry Studios helps teens with autism with ShopBot in an 8-year program

Autistry Studios, a non-profit supporting teens and adults with autism and other learning differences, sought to provide meaningful vocational and creative training. They required tools that could engage students with a wide range of abilities and help them build confidence and independence. They implemented a full-size CNC router from vendor ShopBot Tools, Inc. to serve as a cornerstone of their fabrication workshops.

The solution from ShopBot Tools provided a versatile platform for students to design and create projects. Students learned CAD/CAM skills using PartWorks software and successfully completed projects ranging from personalized plaques to a full-size garden shed. The results included increased student confidence, the development of marketable technical skills, and a tangible path toward greater independence, with one student even progressing toward college enrollment. ShopBot Tools enabled Autistry Studios to raise the bar on their project work and achieve a significant positive impact.
