As a benefit of membership, ASGO provides social skills groups to individuals with autism ages 2 thru adulthood. Our unique social skills groups allow children/teen/adults with autism the opportunity to participate in community outings while being provided the support and understanding they need to have a successful experience. ASGO picks up the entire cost of participation for the individual with autism so that cost is never a factor in being able to access this support/service.
ASGO’s social skills groups are broken down into 4 different groups:
Preschool/Elementary Greater Orlando – this group is for ages 2-12 – this group meets out in the community once a month. The entire family is encouraged to participate. Activities have included making nitrogen ice cream, picking strawberries, bowling, and music therapy.
Teen Group – this group is for ages 13-18 – this group meets out in the community every other Thursday. Activities include making chocolate, making pizzas, bowling, and scavenger hunts in the Mall.
