Last chance to make summer sizzle with PALS!

Hello Pals,


As summer comes to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our PALS families for making this our most amazing summer yet! Through our Adventures with Autism summer programming, 123 adventurers explored more than 50 locations across Central Florida, building friendships, confidence, and unforgettable memories along the way.


As we welcome the fall season, we're excited to share some incredible opportunities ahead. With the start of the school year comes the return of our Social Enhancement Programs, specially designed for individuals ages 8-26. These engaging 8-week classes focus on strengthening communication skills, emotional regulation, and independence through fun, interactive activities that make learning meaningful. Space is limited, and only a few spots remain, so be sure to register today!


We are also thrilled to announce that the ART & AUTISM exhibit is returning to the Lake County Museum of Art. This inspiring exhibit showcases the creativity and talent of our very own artists on the autism spectrum. Admission is free, and we invite you to experience the incredible artwork and stories behind each piece.


Thank you for being part of the PALS community. We look forward to another season of growth, connection, and celebration with all of you.


Sincerely,

Executive Director
