Summer is already coming close to an end. We hope that everyone has been enjoying the warm temperatures we have been having.

Teen Autism Group (TAG) is designed for adolescents (13-17) with ASD, registered with UCF-CARD, to practice social, work and self-advocacy skills in a fun and relaxing atmosphere with activities that build on one another. This is an excellent opportunity for teens to make lasting friendships and be provided with social skill feedback by facilitators. Participants should be independent in their toileting, no aggressive behaviors, not require 1 to 1 support, and be able to effectively communicate in a group setting. |

Level Up- is a Transition Program designed for individuals registered with UCF CARD, ages 18-24, to provide intervention to students leaving high school, entering college, or moving onto adulthood to successfully become self-dependent with necessary employment skills and increased self-management.

Best suited for those that do not require 1:1 support, good communication skills, wants to make friends and eventually live on own or with room-mate.
