Leading the Way for Autism Awareness and Education

Tracks 4 Kids in McKinney, Texas is committed to providing a better way to understand, treat, and improve the lives of children on the autism spectrum. We are here to help them and their families by offering a range of social and educational programs and seminars.

Leadership, Robotics, and History Program (LRH)

We are honored to be working with both the Interurban Railway Museum and The Plano Conservancy in running the LRH program. We aim to teach children not only about how to be a leader but about robotics and the history of trains throughout the state of Texas. The LRH program runs during the spring and fall semesters with each semester having six meetings. In general, the meetings occur every other week. Fall semester runs from September through November and spring semester runs from February through April.

Confident Archer

This program aims to develop and improve children’s social and motor skills through archery. With the help of well-known archers from the state of Texas, kids can learn the safety aspects of archery and how to use a bow in a range. The Confident Archer program is still in its planning stages.
