SOCIAL & RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS
Independence is more fun together.
Coach-led group programs, community outings, and recreational activities where teens and young adults practice social skills, build friendships, and have a great time doing it. Alongside one-on-one coaching — or as a way to get started.

YEAR-ROUND
Social & recreational activities, all year.
Beyond seasonal programs, social skills and recreation are one of the five focus areas of the Champion Program — built into coaching whenever it fits the individual's goals.
Community Outings
Coach-supported trips into the community — parks, museums, restaurants, public transit — where navigating, ordering, and connecting get practiced for real.
Recreation & Fitness
Sports, hikes, gym sessions, and hobbies that build healthy routines and give participants something they look forward to every week.
Social Skills Practice
Conversation, reading social cues, making plans with friends, and handling the awkward moments — coached in real time, in real situations.
Small, coach-led groups
Groups stay small so every participant gets real coaching, not just supervision. Our Life Skills Coaches lead every session.
Open to new families
You don't have to be in the Champion Program to join a group. Many families start here and add one-on one coaching later.
Ask about SDP funding
Group programs may be able to be built into a Self-Determination Program budget. We'll help you find out.
