Out & About

The Autism Center at Ontario ARC recently launched a new social skills group focused on building communication skills in community settings.  "Out & About" will be a unique opportunity for children to work on social skills in a group setting and then put those skills into practice in the community at local events and group-chosen activities.

The most recent "Out & About" outing was at Roseland Bowl in Canandaigua, where the group was able to bowl and play laser tag.  Two moms also joined in on the fun as chaperones, and even participated in laser tag!  The fun energy of the evening helped all of the stress and worry of normal social interactions and community outings fly away and everyone had a blast!

We would like to send a big THANK YOU to the parents who continue to support children with specific needs - your job never ends and sometimes seems endless.  We hope that this opportunity, and future "Out & About" events will provide more opportunities to let go, laugh and have fun!
