About the Program

Adventures with Autism (AwA) is a social recreation program designed to target social and life skills by teaching teens with ASD how to be flexible thinkers, problem solvers, and effective collaborators while developing friendships. The facilitated program will support participants in exploring an itinerary of opportunities one day at a time in different regions through the Central Florida Community.

All participants must be registered with the UCF Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (UCF CARD).

A Note on Transportation Different forms of public transportation will be used during AwA. The goal is to teach individuals how to navigate public transportation and travel in a group. Individuals will be always with staff during any form of public transportation.

**Itinerary details are subject to change leading up to the event. You will recieve an email the day prior to the start of the event with the final itinerary and details.

Please note, ASPIRE outings are only for UCF CARD constituents approved by their coordinator for ASPIRE. No siblings, parents, or other individuals will be permitted to participate.

*Minimum of 4 individuals per event. Please RSVP in order for us to know we have enough individuals registered for the event to take place. If minimum is not met, the event will be canceled and a notice will be sent out. PALS is not responsible for individuals who attend a canceled event.
