The Help Group's Weekend Adventure

A weekend adventure for teens ages 14 to 18 with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and other related challenges.

The Help Group Kids Like Me program will be hosting an “Away in LA” weekend adventure for teens ages 14 to 18 with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and other related challenges from February 26th through February 28th. The experience, which will be facilitated by Help Group professional staff, will focus on peer interaction, social skills development, and friendship-building. Excursions include Knott’s Berry Farm, UCLA (including a sporting event), and a special tour of Farm Sanctuary’s Southern California Shelter. We will be meeting at The Help Group’s Autism Center at 13164 Burbank Blvd in Sherman Oaks. Pick-up will be at this location as well. Cost is $450, which includes transportation, dormitory accommodations, meals, snacks, activity fees, and 24-hour staff supervision. Contact Nicole Webb at nwebb@thehelpgroup.org or 818.778.7136 for more information.
