The goal and/or mission of our program is to establish a center with recreational programs for individuals with autism and related disorders where innovative ideas come together to enhance the lives of individuals and their families. To build new friendships, promote learning, community involvement and disability awareness. Someplace where the body, mind and spirit are supported in attaining their full potential, allowing support for the family in healing and normalizing their lives to the highest degree possible.
The Autism & Related Disabilities Gym Program, Inc. is thriving and has achieved non-profit status. Our account has been set up and we have started to receive donations. Eventually, we would like to see enough volunteers present so that the families can have a strong support group meeting in a separate room. Our mailing list consists of approximately 400 families who are welcome to participate whenever possible.
As always, all disabilities, all ages, and all family members are invited to attend.

I started the program in 2000 because my son Joey had just turned 15 there were no special programs available for kids that were his age.
It seems like everything stops at 12 years old.
I felt that I needed to be with other families that were just like mine.
I asked the local recreation center if I could have 1 hour, 1 night of the week to start my own program.
The Jim Beech Recreation Center granted my wish and with homemade flyers and word of mouth, we are a thriving, nonprofit organization with over 300 families!

We can always use toys such as balls, hula hoops, games; anything geared toward movement and fun!
