Playing on the Spectrum

Autism Families CONNECTicut (AFC) is pleased to announce its popular gym program “Playing on the Spectrum” for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their siblings and families.  “Playing on the Spectrum” Gym and sports program will be offered again in two locations:  Elmwood Community Center in West Hartford will host each Sunday in October (4 sessions) in the gymnasium; and “Playing on the Spectrum” will also be offered at the South Windsor Community Center on Sundays in November (4 sessions). Both programs are open to residents of other towns as well.

This program has been designed especially for children on the spectrum, to provide a fun, safe environment appropriate for their needs.  
Play and fun will be facilitated by professional clinicians, and will 
include planned activities as well as space for free play.   Children will be encouraged to exercise, to learn motor skills, and to interact with each other. Basic components of various sports will be introduced each week within the groups of ages 6-8 and 9-12. Get your child moving and having fun on the weekend!  Parents must remain with their children during the session.  

Volunteers are welcome.
