Developmental Connections

Developmental connections is a nonprofit organization designed to support children with developmental disorders (i.e. Asperger's, autism, adhd, sensory integration disorder, etc.) while a growing number of public and private resources provde support to these children for medical and academic concerns, the primary focus of developmental connections is to support a dangerously underfunded need - social skills development. Every year, thousands of socially impaired students graduate from high school with a diploma, but without the social ability to succeed in life. To fill this critical gap, we have launched several programs to teach public school pta/ptos how to run social skills enrichment programs for their schools. Marvin's club and camp connect are designed to teach developmentally delayed students social and recreational skills while involving neuro- typical peers and enhancing community awareness.
