Welcome to Adventures Outside the Box.
Our Mission:
Adventures Outside the Box’s mission is to provide fun, structured, goal oriented social thinking groups and recreational opportunities for children and teens with Asperger Syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disability and related disorders. Our unique programming develops social thinking and skills in conjunction with age appropriate group activities in the community. These “adventures outside the box” support the generalization of social thinking and social skills in active real life environments.
Adventures Outside the Box (AOB) also provides venues for preteens and teens with Asperger Syndrome to connect with each other and explore common interests and get outside their own “box” to discover new possibilities.
We believe:
- Adventures in the natural world provide opportunities for life-long enjoyment while learning to expect the unexpected.
- With small groups, direct instruction, and practice in community settings, our students can learn to be flexible and social thinkers.
- Being active is a key component of wellness, and a means towards creating social connections.
- Life is inherently unpredictable. Learning to manage novel experiences is a critical life skill.
