Igniting Social Growth​

In a world that expects social connection, FAST's new SPARK Groups aim to help older teens & young adults on the autism spectrum gain confidence, build friendships, and experience community all while preparing for real-life success.  From navigating relationships to handling interviews or dating, SPARK is your place to grow!

 

These meetings, led by Emilee Betts, M. Ed., CCC-SLP,  will offer a safe, supportive space to build real-world social and communication skills. Whether it’s navigating group conversations, managing emotions, or preparing for work/college environments, SPARK groups help empower individuals on the autism spectrum to connect with confidence.  Topics and speaking points will vary for each meeting, ranging from everyday hang outs to preparing for adult responsibilities.
