Summer 2026 • Ages 13–17 & Ages 18+
Adventures with Autism (AwA) is a social recreation program designed to target social and life skills by teaching teens and adults with ASD to be flexible thinkers, problem solvers, and effective collaborators while developing friendships. Participants are supported by our PALS Facilitators as they practice using various modes of transportation to navigate and explore an itinerary of opportunities in different regions throughout the Central Florida community.
