TAAG in Action
Throughout the year, The Adult Autism Group plans regular outings that give our members opportunities to connect. Especially during the warmer months, we often take our gatherings out into the community, choosing shared experiences over indoor sessions.
Our members have enjoyed everything from bowling nights, pool parties, trivia, and game nights to evenings at the zoo, movie outings, museum tours, and dinners together. We’ve explored New Salem, visited pumpkin patches in the fall, attended comic conventions, and celebrated together at our annual holiday party.
We’ve also taken day trips to St. Louis and Chicago, creating opportunities to explore, learn and experience something new as a group.
These outings are more than activities. They are about building friendships, increasing confidence, and creating a sense of belonging in the community.
Because many TAAG activities are intended specifically for our members and families, event dates, locations, and other details are shared in our private Facebook group.
New members are always welcome! If you or an adult in your family is interested in becoming part of TAAG, we’d love to have you join us.
