PROGRAMS & SERVICES
Saturday Respite Program
Based in Woodside, Queens, this program meets every other
Saturday, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Transportation is provided.
This program is for children with autism, and was designed to reinforce
social, communication and language skills they learn during the week in
school by providing guidance in a less structured environment. Activities
include arts and crafts, music, drawing, dancing, puzzles, and board
and video games. Field trips are also planned which take into account
the interests of the students as well as their ability to experience and
participate in new activities.
