Overview

Welcome to The Autism Summer Program. Our mission is to provide a safe and stimulating environment, where participants can learn valuable daily living skills, and have positive experiences. That is why we offer a 1:1 staff to participant ratio, community outings to the water park, and a comfortable, stimuli filled, air-conditioned environment.

We understand our participants' need for a fun and stress-free environment. A place where they can run through sprinklers, have water balloon fights, receive sensory input, and laugh & play. In our 8 years providing the program, we have found that kids can do all this and still build skills that will be important to their future. 

 Goals

Individual goals differ from participant to participant, but there are some broad goals that remain the same.

• Further develop skills interacting with peers, adults, and people in the community.

• Address gross-motor and fine-motor deficits.

• Further develop tolerance and enjoyment of preferred activities in a group setting.

• Further develop other daily living skills such as self-help in feeding, bathrooming, and following multi-step directions.
