Welcome to Spectrum!
We’re here to support the autism community through our many programs, events and resources. Our Monthly Support Groups, Respite Programs and Family Camp are geared toward supporting the entire family, while our Summer Day Camp, Overnight Camps and Social Skills Groups provide social opportunities for individuals of all abilities on the autism spectrum.

New way to give!
You can help us raise funds for Spectrum Autism Support Group Inc. by rounding up your debit and credit card purchases every time you shop! Any contribution -- no matter how big or small, makes an impact. You can make one-time donation, set up monthly donations or simply set a limit on how much you want to donate each month by rounding up purchases to next dollar! With the rate of autism now 1 in 54 and continuing to rise, the need for Spectrum's supports and services grow as well. You can make a difference! Register here! And share with friends and family!

Gift of Time Respite Program
Gift of Time Respite has been suspended at this time due to Covid concerns and hopefully will resume in 2021.

Studio Movie Grill
Studio Movie Grill theaters are postponing sensory friendly screenings but we hope to see sensory friendly screenings soon. Screenings are held at 11am at Duluth, Marietta and Roswell locations. Sensory friendly screenings run with the lights up and sound down so the children are free to laugh, play, sing and even dance while they watch. 5% of the proceeds from the "Chefs for Children" menu benefit Spectrum! Check out the upcoming schedule here.
