When Steven began coming to Autism Avenue it literally gave him hope and such joy! The two friends that he had that would come and get him and take him to do things were in college and just not really available anymore. He was extremely lonely. A man at church whose grandson had been coming […]

Gregory is showing a level of responsibility that is truly amazing. The program has given him tools to track his own schedule. He also has improved his hygiene by brushing his own teeth consistently for the first time in 19 years!!!!! We can’t thank Greater Expectations and Audrey and Andi enough.

Since my daughter has started going to the Connection’s Club at Autism Avenue, I have seen that she is more willing to talk to people without being “scared”. She also has worked the counter a few times (I was honestly shocked that she did as well as she did). Lexi has also opened up and […]

I learned how to use checklists, schedules, how to better read some social cues and how to run a cash register. I use these tools in college to help me navigate my day. The most […]

I gained better communication skills and the experience to convey my message more effectively than before I started the program. I learned better organization and reasoning skills that have benefited my career and home life. The most challenging part was adjusting to a different style of work than I was used to. It is somewhat […]
