Narrative

Aspire, a Mass General Brigham for Children program, specializes in helping children, teens and adults on the autism spectrum achieve success.

Aspire offers year-round programming for people aged 5 years to adult. Programs include

• social groups
• summer camp
• school vacation camp 
• special events

Aspire's summer Adventure Camp is a six-week program for children ages 5-13 years old. Campers are placed into similar-age peer groups of four to six campers, each supported by two Aspire staff. Campers participate in a rich weekly schedule full of typical camp activities, such as swimming, music, fishing, boating and art. Like all of Aspire’s programming, campers receive direct instruction and in-the-moment social coaching to support skill building in the areas of self-awareness, stress management, and social competency. Aspire staff create a safe and supportive space. Campers can learn, grow, make social connections, express themselves, feel successful and have fun.

For adults looking for work-related support, Aspire helps them navigate the work world, gain on-the-job skills and reach professional goals. Aspire also provides consultation and support services designed to educate and broaden the understanding of the unique strengths and needs of this population.
