Project ACT; Abilities Network

The Abilities Network Project ACT program offers a unique opportunity through Therapeutic Integration for children ages 5-14 on the autism spectrum to play and learn valuable social and leisure skills within after-school and summer camp settings with their typically developing peers. A specially trained Inclusion Specialist supports these children in the program and works on personalized goals according to each child’s treatment plan. Individualized plans are centered round the strengths and needs of each child participating in the program. Abilities Network’s Project ACT program can help with the following: on-site training for child care staff; individualized child observations and support planning; center wide coaching and mentoring to increase staff knowledge and skills; family support; resource and referral services; and access to individualized services to facilitate the optimal growth and development of children.
