Spectrum Saturday Social Club will provide a safe space for adults who are on the autism spectrum. Participants who are out of high school and are 18 years or older, have independent self help skills, and are able to function with little supervision. The group will meet on Saturdays from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm where they will play games, enjoy karaoke, or watch movies with friends. The club will be supervised by professional staff that will facilitate the members to help make new friends and strengthen social skills.
This will be like a gym membership where you pay $200 for 10 week session to participate one Saturday or all Saturdays in a quarter. You must register but then can attend as often or as little as you want. Registration is now open!
The Animated Minds ATL is a welcoming community for autistic adults ages 18 and older who share a passion for animation and visual storytelling. This program is designed for adults who do not require support or supervision and who enjoy creating and sharing their work with others.
Participants gather to talk about animation, draw, create, and connect with others who share similar interests. Members often bring their own creations to share with the group — including characters, animated shorts, comic books, and other visual storytelling projects. The club celebrates creativity, imagination, and collaboration in a supportive environment.
Each month, participants also have the opportunity to learn from guest speakers with expertise in animation, art, film, voice acting, and more, who share their skills and creative process with the group.

As a new school year begins, we know schedules are quickly filling with different start dates, school routines, and extracurricular activities across our local districts. We are praying for each family as you settle into this new season!
While we will be available during the first week of August, our regular weekly gatherings at Mt. Rachel Baptist Church will officially begin on August 10.
Throughout August, we will be offering:
* Two office hour sessions where parents and caregivers can meet with us individually for support, resources, or to pick up needed supplies.
* One community play date, providing a welcoming space where children can enjoy time together while parents and caregivers build meaningful friendships, encourage one another, and find community with others who understand their journey.
* Our first Parent Connect of the year, featuring a representative from SEEDS. SEEDS is a program designed to strengthen early learning classroom practices by equipping educators with evidence-based strategies that support the developmental success of all children, including those with disabilities and those who exhibit challenging behaviors.
This workshop is designed to provide autistic individuals, caregivers, educators, and clinicians with insights into navigating autistic burnout, emphasizing prevention and recovery in a supportive setting. We’ll explore the roots and effects of burnout, sharing practical advice for managing it. Participants will learn to spot early signs and adopt strategies that foster well-being. Recovery options will highlight the power of self-care and community resources. A Q&A session will encourage open dialogue, allowing everyone to share experiences and solutions, building a network of support.
Join us for camaraderie and fun! We will be playing a variety of Jackbox games that we will select as a group! Most games fit about 8 participants, but are still a blast to watch! We rotate through both games and players to have a great time together!
Meet with other parents for resources and support! First and third Tuesday of every month.
When a school closes or a major program shifts suddenly, the impact reaches far beyond the classroom. Students feel the disruption, families lose stability, and educators face new communication challenges.
This webinar explores how communities can respond together — pivoting, preparing, and supporting students through unexpected transitions.
Participants Will Learn:
Navigating change — How to seek transparency and consistent resources from school districts.
SEL support for all students — Practical strategies to help students manage emotions, stress, and anxiety across grade levels.
Strengthening partnerships — How home, school, and community leaders can work together to rebuild trust and strengthen family engagement.
This series is comprised of interactive sessions with each week focusing on a new place or cultural activity, while incorporating storytelling, music, poetry writing, and/or a simple craft. Each session will include a follow-up message filled with tips, activities, and recipes for families to continue to enjoy after the virtual trip. The focus of each group is to explore a new world, experience a variety of engaging opportunities, and enjoy a sense of camaraderie and community.
