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.
