Leading the Way for Autism Awareness and Education
Tracks 4 Kids in Allen, 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 Emerald's Imagination Station, 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 fall semesters with each semester having six meetings. In general, the meetings occur every other week. Fall semester runs from September through the first week of December.
Magic and Castles
This program is a group therapy format run by Emerald's Imagination Station and uses RPG paper and pencil gaming to teach social skills for indivdiuals on the spectrum ages eleven and up. Adaptive behavior, problem resolution and reading non-verbal cues are all part of the program. The group meets at Emerald's Imgaination Station every other week during the full year although it does break for a short period in the summer months.
Seminars
We conduct an annual free seminar that promotes autism awareness. Donations to Tracks 4 Kids of $20 to $30 when attending are encouraged. Example of topics that could be expressed during one of our seminars are:
