Monthly Meeting Update
As in previous years, TAAG has suspended indoor meetings for the summer and will instead be hosting oudoor activities until meetings resume this fall.
Be sure to check out our “TAAG in Action” section for information on our summer activities and events!
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.
July TAAG Outing: Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum
Join us for our July TAAG outing on Sunday, July 26, 2026!
We’ll meet at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum at 3:00 p.m. for an afternoon of exploring one of Springfield’s most popular attractions.
TAAG will cover the cost of admission for participants.
If you have a LINK (EBT) Card, please bring it with you. The museum offers discounted admission for LINK cardholders and their guests, which helps TAAG stretch our outing budget and continue offering activities like this throughout the year.
We look forward to seeing everyone for an afternoon of history, conversation, and fun!
For the latest updates and reminders, be sure to join our TAAG Facebook group.
