This is very important! Because the goal of the myLIFE program is to foster communication, social, and interpersonal skills, it is very important that we maintain constancy. This helps to facilitate prolonged friendships and help participants feel as comfortable as possible. Volunteers also learn about the strengths and challenges of ASD. If you have questions about any of this, please feel free to reach out to any of the F4ML group leaders before/after each meeting! When: every Wednesday from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm (Please try to arrive on time! We have a limited amount of time available to hold meetings, and we want to make sure that every moment with participants is great!)
