The group is designed for those who have reached the point of medical discharge and are looking for more long-term rehabilitative options. Group members meet once a week for an hour. Members may discuss past and present life experiences, current events, and common interest topics. Group activities may be used to target specific communication skills and life participation.

SOUTH PLAINS AUTISM NETWORK
The South Plains Autism Network (SPAN) was developed in 2003. SPAN provides critical services and a support network for families who have children with autism. Although there is no known cure for autism, studies show that early diagnosis and intervention lead to vastly improved outcomes. SPAN plays a vital role in assisting West Texas communities and families with early diagnosis, treatment, and support. SPAN provides a number of invaluable resources for families and professionals who work with autistic children, including educational seminars, group support meetings, a loaner library of books and videos, and assistance with navigating community resources. On a monthly basis, SPAN sponsors seminars for families, professionals, and the community. These presentations are delivered by TTUHSC faculty, family members, and experts in the community who donate their time and who are committed to helping these families. By educating the community and raising awareness, the lives of children with autism and their families can be improved.
