Group Criteria 

 

Our Teen Groups are designed to address the many social issues faced by youth and young adults who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Areas that we focus on include: improving youth’s sense of belonging and ownership, providing an environment for youth to learn and apply essential social skills through group activities like playing games or creating games, providing youth with a safe and supportive environment in which they can interact with other youth that have similar challenges. 

If groups are held online, emails will be sent to teens/parents 1 week prior to the group date with the Zoom Meeting info and link. We will also let the teens know what the group will be doing during that time, so they can decide if they would like to participate. It is not mandatory to attend each group, we understand if a teen wants to opt out of an activity, they can just join the following month.
