The Help Group started in 1975 as a small organization helping children with autism and other developmental disorders. It now oversees day schools, residential facilities, and therapy options that serve thousands of children from pre-school through high school. The Help Group believes strongly in early diagnosis and intervention. Their offerings include Kids Like Me, which is a summer camp that teaches all ages “to read body language and listen for voice inflections as well as teach them skills on how to make friends and say goodbye.” Project Six is a residential program structured for 13 to 18 year olds and offers family therapy, social skills training, and individual and group counseling. The Bridgeport School facility offers life skills and transition instruction for young adults through the age of 21 as they enter the job market.
