Continuing education classes, starting this fall for all adults (18+) with autism and other intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Community Mainstreaming Associates has started a new integrative recreation program called The Community Live Wire. This inventive recreation program provides experiences and exploration in an array of activities and interests. Individuals have the ability to participate in monthly events such as The Community Music Academy, My BAE (speed dating), Besties (speed friending), Game Night, Formal Dances such as The Spring Soiree and the Snowflake Ball, Socials, Karaoke, S.A.F.E. (martial arts), etc. to assist with making relationships, socializing, and developing interests with an ever changing group of peers.

Our new program for the fall is called The Campus Live Wire. This innovative continuing education program in partnership with Hofstra University has been developed for individuals to have integrative experiences in the areas of learning, leisure, and employment. Each semester, CMA will offer a variety of classes that will address the interests, needs, and desires of the students. Classes such as Social Media Safety, Benefits Workshops, Art and Crafts, Dance, Martial Arts, etc., will be in rotation of availability.
