My Summer Journey

My Summer Journey is a summer program for teens on the autism spectrum, ages 13-19.  Our fun-filled days help keep kids in a routine that can make the transition back to school much easier. The focus of the program is to make new friends along with working on life and social skills.

My Summer Journey 2024

My Summer Journey participants will meet and be picked up at Earlywood Education Center in Franklin, Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm during June 2024.
