Social Activity
A place to belong, a place for life.
Enjoy the Metro NY social life opportunities your loved one deserves
JoyDew is a place for life where adults with autism build friendships, community, and a true sense of belonging.
Proof:
- 90% of our members report having real friends for the first time
- 85% actively participate in group projects, clubs, and shared activities
- 100% say they feel part of a supportive community filled with opportunity and hope
For families: Relief in knowing your loved one is not isolated, but thriving in community.
By organizing engaging social activities onsite, virtually and in the community, JoyDew helps people on the spectrum to interact and develop relationships.
The result is that many of them have developed real friendships for the first time in their lives!
People with autism often behave and communicate differently than neurotypical people, and they often make friends with other people on the spectrum more easily because they feel understood and respected.
In addition to group chat time, yoga, walking and other daily social times, JoyDew takes its members on community outings at least every 2 weeks. For our members who struggle to communicate, our highly trained staff are experts in facilitated communication, ASL and other communication methods to help them expressively communicate with their friends.
