Leisure and Well-Being

Being able to occupy oneself, and find ways to appropriately spend time engaged in an acitivity is a challenge many people with Autism face. Our aim at APPA is to replicate a normal, fulfilling day with balanced activities, and to promote the ability to gain enjoyment from activities such as going for a walk; swimming, watching TV, listening to music and computer based activities.

We focus on health and well being though activities such as going for walks, ball skills, golfing, regular stretching and dancing exercises. We do many outings in the community which build on many aspects of socialization and community integration. Examples include ten pin bowling, attending theatre, going to movies and visiting exhibitions.
