Groups for Children

May Institute offers a variety of programs and groups for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities.

“Positive Steps for Kids” is a program for children and adolescents with autism and other special needs who have difficulty understanding social cues and developing friendships. The program's goal is to teach children the social skills they need to make new friends and have successful community experiences. “Positive Steps for Kids” is currently available in the following locations:

Recognizing that all family members are impacted by a child with ASD or a related diagnosis, May Institute offers “My Time to Shine” workshops for siblings of children with special needs. These workshops are designed to help children of different ages understand and support their brothers and sisters with special needs. “My Time to Shine” is currently available in our Atlanta, Ga., location.
