About the Program
QSAC provides a Social Skills Group for individuals on the autism spectrum, targeting high-functioning individuals with autism and low support needs.
Individuals with autism exhibit the most profound deficits in socialization, peer interaction, and typical communication, which can significantly impact their success and overall progress.
QSAC operates a Social Skills Group in Manhattan and the second group in Queens. Participants must be residents of the borough for the group they wish to join.
The QSAC Social Skills Group will provide the participants with the communication, socialization, and interactive skills to thrive in various settings, similar to their typically developing peers.
