Social Groups

At Partners in Autism, we understand that social interaction and a little extra support can go along way in enriching one's life. That is why we have created and sponsor multiple social and support groups, most of which are free of charge for our clients and community. 
​
Our dedicated, trained staff host and facilitate our groups so you can trust that our quality and professional standards are being met even with our free services.

Groups in Development

Stay tuned for updates as we develop these and other groups to support our community!​

​Employment Support Group 

     Ages 16+
​From those just starting out into the workforce, to those who are seeking to maintain their current position, our support group seeks to build the skills necessary to be successful in employment. We will focus on workplace skills such as building a resume, how to succeed at interviewing, learning how to advocate for a raise or promotion, how to work as part of a team, how to dress for success, and the pros and cons of diagnosis disclosure. 

Teen Social Group
​

     Ages 11+
​A youth group for individuals 11+ with Asperger's or similar  characteristics, who want to have fun participating in games, activities and group discussions while forming new friendships. Our trained staff will help facilitate communication and spark connections in a supportive and accepting environment. 

Navigators Chapter 239
​ 

     Ages 2-11
Navigators is a secular scouting group for children ages 2 - 11 years old, of all abilities. The mission of Navigators is "to help children and their parents spend more time outdoors, getting to know what nature has to offer while getting to know each other." By using unstructured play with curriculum we promote interpersonal skills along with achievement. Building volcanos, running an obstacle course, or visiting the zoo are only some of the many engaging activities that are in store for your child. ​
All social groups require enrollment. Contact Groups@PartnersinAutism.com
We want to be your partner through your autism journey in whatever way we can.
