Thank you to our neighbor, Watchung Pediatrics, for the helpful tips!

In honor of National Friendship Day yesterday, we're celebrating one of the best parts of our program: watching relationships grow every day. The connections our kiddos build with one another and with our staff are part of what makes SLG so special! 🫶

National Play Outside Day is all about making time for fresh air and adventure. 🌳Outdoor play is an important part of the day at SEARCH, and we're lucky to have spaces where our learners can enjoy being in nature. ☀️

Happy National Intern Day! At SEARCH, investing in the next generation of clinicians has always been an important part of who we are. Creating opportunities for students to learn and gain hands-on experience has been a priority from the very beginning, and we're proud to welcome each one into our community.

To all of our interns, thank you for choosing SEARCH to be part of this exciting chapter. We're excited to see where your career takes you!

Smiles like these are just part of the job. 😀We’re grateful for a team that brings so much positivity to our learners and each other. They make every day at SEARCH even brighter!

What matters most to the autism community? According to a recent national survey from the Proof Positive Autism Wellbeing Alliance, the answer is unanimous. 💛 More than 1,000 autistic individuals, in addition to caregivers, educators, and service providers, ranked wellbeing as the highest priority, above communication, self-care, and academics.

It's an encouraging reminder that our work extends beyond skill development alone, and keeping wellbeing at the center of our focus helps every child reach their full potential.
