A day at Atlanta venues is a typical outing for a typical family. But a family with a child with disabilities might never consider such an outing; their child may not be able to spend the entire day to justify the cost of the tickets or they may shy away because of the stares of strangers. Families can check in anytime between 9-11AM & walk throughout the gardens at their own pace.
Each fall, FOCUS offers Octoberfest, a one-night camp experience for teens and young adults at Camp Twin Lakes, Will-A-Way. OctoberFest runs from approximately 10AM on Saturday through 3PM on Sunday. Activities include arts & crafts, rock wall, sports, and more!

A presentation and discussion for Autistic adults to come and explore their understanding of autism through a neurological lens. We will discuss common misconceptions, the Autistic identity, and common Autistic traits, strengths, and challenges. This presentation is given by an Autistic adult and a Neurodivergent ally. You might enjoy this presentation and discussion if you are newly diagnosed, considering whether you may be autistic, or if you have only explored autism through a deficit lens in the past.
This 90-minute workshop will address common misconceptions, investigate Autistic identity, and explore Autistic traits, strengths, and challenges. This presentation will provide insights into your child’s neurotype, preparing you with an informed mindset for raising an Autistic child. Parents, family members, and caregivers of individuals who are potentially Autistic are also encouraged to attend.
Join us for camaraderie and fun! We will be playing a variety of Jackbox games that we will select as a group! Most games fit about 8 participants, but are still a blast to watch! We rotate through both games and players to have a great time together!
