New Autism Alliance Leisure Education Program
“Where self-discovery and personal growth begin.”
The Autism Alliance Leisure Education Program is specifically for children with autism that benefit from and a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where they can be themselves. This is a non-judgement program where we encourage participants to experience feelings of enjoyment, motivation, and choice. Sensory tools are available onsite to assist with independence and engagement. All programs are held at the Autism Welcoming Center at the Natick Mall and are free to members of the Autism Alliance. Parents/aides are required to stay on site.
Goal: For participants to develop increased levels of confidence, skills, and self-esteem. Leisure education serves a vital role in helping our children realize the importance of recreation in their lives. It is not merely teaching them to do an activity. It is a process where the child learns how positive recreation can transform their lives.
