Asperger Teen Group
Email: luciercl@
A local group for teens and young adults, aged 15-25, has just joined with Community Human Services to help their program grow. This group began with families from a Saratoga Support group lead by Deb Garrelts, and now includes families from other areas and school districts. The teens are a varied group, with different functional levels, skill needs and educational placements. Since services and recreational activities are so hard to find for older kids with AS, this group developed to combine community activities with the teens learning to become more self sufficient.
The Lunch Bunch
