Autism Play Groups Summer Programs

Online Summer Play Groups are comprehensive programs that focus on the development of the social, communication and peer play competencies of all the children participating. The Society offers two types of Online Play Groups programs they are Unbox & Play for children ages 6 through 10 and Role-Playing Groups for youths ages 11 to 5.

As part of these programs, we offer the following services:

• Small stable groups of 2 to 4 children/youths ages 6 to 15.
• Four, 60 to 90-minute sessions offered between 10 and 11:30 am Mondays thru Thursdays (session times range by age of children participating)
• Virtual transition meeting with Master Guide prior to the program start
• Sessions are designed around a specific play scheme
• Sessions are tailored, incorporating the children’s specific affinities, as well as the social and communication goals.
• Sessions are led by a highly trained Master Guide (virtual host).
• Children receive pre-teaching materials to support their understanding of the play before the online sessions.
• Children participating in the Unbox & Play Program (ages 6 to 10) receive a box of play materials associated with the themes.
• Youths participating in the Role Playing Groups receive character cards and visuals materials prior to the start of the sessions.
• Session notes and data on baseline skills are recorded daily
