REC - Reaching Everyone's Capabilities
REC is a social and recreational club for children, teens, and adults with social difficulties or moderate to high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders.
REC members engage in activities and outings with guidance from trained NYFS staff. The goal of the program is to make friends and have fun while developing individual growth, confidence, independence, flexibility, and patience.
REC is separated by age group (except for summer REC which combines the child and teen group).
Children: 7 - 12 years old
Teens: 13 - 17 years old
Adults: 18 - 35 years old
